Ingredients:
- 1 liter of milk
- 1 can of sweetened condensed milk
- 5 tablespoons of cornstarch
- 4 egg yolks
- 1 tablespoon of vanilla essence
- 3 cups of vanilla ice cream
- 1 can of peaches in syrup
Preparation:
Step 1: Cooking the Base
- Prepare your ingredients: Gather your milk, sweetened condensed milk, cornstarch, and egg yolks.
- Mix the base: In a large saucepan, combine the milk, sweetened condensed milk, and cornstarch. Stir until the cornstarch is fully dissolved.
- Cook the mixture: Add the egg yolks to the saucepan, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
- Heat it up: Place the saucepan over medium heat, stirring continuously to prevent the mixture from sticking or burning.
- Thicken the base: Cook the mixture until it thickens to a custard-like consistency, which should take about 10-15 minutes. The mixture should coat the back of a spoon when it’s ready.
Step 2: Incorporating the Flavor
- Cool the mixture: Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally to avoid a skin forming on the surface.
- Add vanilla and ice cream: Stir in the vanilla essence. Once the mixture has cooled, add the vanilla ice cream and mix until smooth and well incorporated.
- Prepare the peaches: Drain the peaches from the syrup and chop them into small pieces, saving a few slices for garnish.
- Add peaches: Gently fold the chopped peaches into the mixture, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Step 3: Setting the Dessert
- Prepare the dish: Choose a medium-sized baking dish for setting the dessert.
- Assemble the dessert: Pour the prepared mixture into the dish, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Garnish: Arrange the reserved peach slices on top in a decorative pattern.
- Chill: Refrigerate the dessert for at least 3 hours to set.
Serving:
- Serve chilled: Once set, slice the dessert and serve it cold.
- Optional garnishes: Add a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of peach syrup for extra flair.
