Ingredients:
For the Cake:
2 packs of tea biscuits (or any plain biscuits)
1 1/2 cups milk
1/4 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 packet instant vanilla pudding mix (or homemade custard)
For the Caramel Topping:
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1/4 cup heavy cream
Pinch of salt
Instructions:
- Prepare the Custard:
In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, sugar, and vanilla extract. Heat over medium heat until it starts to simmer.
Add the vanilla pudding mix (or homemade custard) and whisk continuously until the mixture thickens.
Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly. - Layer the Cake:
In a rectangular dish, lay down a layer of tea biscuits, arranging them to cover the bottom of the dish.
Pour half of the custard mixture over the biscuits, spreading it evenly.
Add another layer of biscuits on top, followed by the remaining custard.
Finish with a final layer of biscuits. - Make the Caramel Topping:
In a small saucepan, melt the sugar over medium heat until it turns golden brown (be careful not to burn it).
Add the butter and stir until fully melted, followed by the heavy cream. Stir until smooth and combined.
Let the caramel sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat. - Top the Cake:
Pour the caramel sauce evenly over the top of the layered cake. Allow it to cool and set. - Chill:
Cover the cake and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or overnight for the best results. This will allow the flavors to meld together and the custard to firm up. - Serve:
Once the cake has chilled, slice and serve. Enjoy this indulgent dessert that everyone will love!
Notes:
Storage: Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Customization: You can add chopped nuts or chocolate chips between the layers for an extra crunch and flavor boost.
Serving Tip: Serve cold for the best texture, and top with whipped cream for an extra treat.
