Step 1: Prepare the Cream Mixture

In a medium saucepan, add:

• Whole milk
• Sweetened condensed milk
• Cornstarch
• Egg yolks

Whisk everything together until completely smooth.

Step 2: Cook the Custard

Place the saucepan over medium heat.

Stir constantly to prevent lumps and sticking.

Continue cooking for about 8–10 minutes until the mixture thickens into a smooth custard consistency.

Once thick:

• Remove from heat
• Stir in butter
• Add vanilla extract

Mix until silky smooth.

Step 3: Pour into the Dish

Transfer the custard mixture into a glass serving dish or pie plate.

Spread evenly with a spatula.

Let it cool for about 15 minutes.

Step 4: Make the Chocolate Ganache

In a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl:

• Heat heavy cream until hot but not boiling.

Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips.

Add butter and let sit for 1 minute.

Stir slowly until the chocolate becomes glossy and completely smooth.

Step 5: Add the Chocolate Layer

Pour the chocolate ganache gently over the cream layer.

Spread evenly to create a smooth top.

Step 6: Chill the Dessert

Place the dessert in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or until fully set.

For best results, chill overnight.

Step 7: Serve and Enjoy

Slice into squares or scoop with a spoon.

Serve cold straight from the refrigerator.

Optional toppings:

• Whipped cream
• Chocolate shavings
• Fresh strawberries
• Crushed nuts

Tips for the Best Dessert

• Stir the custard constantly to avoid lumps.
