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 these ingredients together until the cornstarch is completely dissolved.
- Cook the mixture: Add the egg yolks to the saucepan, stirring constantly to ensure they integrate smoothly without cooking into lumps.
- Heat it up: Place the saucepan over medium heat. Keep stirring continuously to prevent the mixture from sticking to the bottom of the pan or burning.
- Thicken the base: Cook until the mixture thickens into a custard-like consistency. This 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 the heat and set aside to let the mixture cool to room temperature. Stir occasionally to prevent a skin from forming on the surface.
- Add vanilla and ice cream: Stir in the vanilla essence. Once the mixture is cool, add the vanilla ice cream, mixing well until the ice cream is fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
- Prepare the peaches: Drain the peaches from the syrup and chop them into small pieces. Reserve some peach slices for garnish.
- Add peaches: Fold the chopped peaches into the mixture, distributing them evenly.
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. Smooth the top with a spatula.
- Garnish: Decorate the top with the reserved peach slices arranged in a decorative pattern.
- Chill: Refrigerate the dessert for at least 3 hours to allow it to set properly.
Serving
- Serve chilled: Once set, slice the dessert and serve it cold.
- Optional garnishes: For an extra touch, you can add a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of peach syrup over each serving.
