How to Make This Creamy Fruit and Biscuit Dessert
1. Whip the Cream
In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
2. Add the Sweetness
Gently fold in the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract until smooth and fully incorporated. You should have a silky, pourable cream.
3. Prep the Fruit
Chop your chosen fruits into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
4. Layer It Up
In your serving dish:
-
Spread a thin layer of cream to start.
-
Add a layer of biscuits (dip quickly in milk if you want them softer).
-
Spoon over a layer of cream, then scatter a generous layer of fruit.
-
Repeat layers, finishing with a beautiful thick layer of cream on top.
5. Chill and Set
Cover tightly and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (overnight is best for full flavor fusion!).
6. Serve and Enjoy
Scoop or slice, serve chilled, and watch it disappear!
