Recipe ingredients:
For the Cream:
- 2 cups (480 ml) milk
- 1 can (14 oz / 395 g) sweetened condensed milk
- 7 oz (200 g) heavy cream or table cream
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Chocolate Ganache:
- 14 oz (400 g) heavy cream
- 10.5 oz (300 g) semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
- 3 packs of fresh strawberries (about 750 g / 26 oz), halved
Instructions:
1. Prepare the White Cream Base:
In a saucepan, combine the milk, sweetened condensed milk, cream, cornstarch, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and fully combined.
Place over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the cream thickens and starts to pull away from the bottom of the pan. Turn off the heat and let it cool to room temperature.
2. Add the Strawberries:
Once the cream has cooled, gently fold in half to two-thirds of the halved strawberries.
Transfer the mixture to a glass serving dish, spreading evenly. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes to firm up slightly before adding the topping.
3. Prepare the Ganache:
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chopped chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth.
Add the heavy cream to the melted chocolate and stir until you get a glossy, silky ganache.
4. Assemble the Dessert:
Pour the ganache over the chilled cream-strawberry mixture. Use a spatula to spread it evenly.
Top with the remaining fresh strawberries for a beautiful finish.
Place in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours (or overnight) to chill and set completely.
Bonus Tip:
- This dessert is perfect for special occasions, yet simple enough for a weekend treat. Serve cold and watch everyone fall in love with the creamy texture, the fresh berries, and the rich chocolate topping.
