This dessert often evokes nostalgic memories of grandma’s house, earning it the affectionate nickname “grandma’s dessert.” It’s a fail-safe option to impress even the most unexpected guests.

Let’s explore the ingredients list, highlighting the star of the show: the Ladyfingers, before we dive into the preparation method.

Ingredients (Serves 6):

  • 1500ml of milk
  • 3 Tablespoons of cornstarch
  • 1 Vanilla Flan Box
  • 3 Tablespoons of sugar
  • 250g of Butter
  • 500g of Ladyfingers
  • 150g of Shredded Coconut

Preparation Steps for the Moist and Fluffy Ladyfinger Dessert:

  1. Begin by mixing 500ml of cold milk with the cornstarch and vanilla flan in a bowl. It’s crucial to constantly stir the mixture to avoid lumps, preferably using a wooden spoon.
  2. In another bowl, combine the remaining milk with sugar and warm it over medium heat. Before it reaches boiling, integrate the first mixture, continuing to gently stir with a wooden spoon. Add the butter and shredded coconut, stirring until smooth. Let it boil for 5 minutes.
  3. For assembly, lay down a layer of ladyfingers in a large dish, then generously pour over the cream mixture. Repeat this layering process until all ingredients are used up.
  4. Optionally, garnish with grated white chocolate for an extra touch of elegance. Once assembled, refrigerate the dessert for 4 hours to set properly.
  5. After chilling, the Ladyfinger Dessert is ready to be served, offering a slice of moist and fluffy heaven.

Additional Tips:

  • The amount of ingredients may vary depending on the size of your ladyfingers and the dish used for the dessert.
  • For a twist on the classic recipe, try dipping each ladyfinger in port or another sweet wine before layering it in the dish for added richness.

Enjoy this delightful dessert, a perfect blend of simplicity and nostalgia.
