Preparation

1 Cream: 2 Put 300 ml milk and sugar in a saucepan over low heat (if you have a pan with double bottom cos it does not stick the cream) 3 In a bowl mix the remaining milk with 4 tablespoons of starch, mixing well with a whisk to dissolve better the starch. 4 When the milk is hot, mix it with the one with starch and continue boiling the cream,stiring constantly with the whisk, until thickened like a pudding. 5 Remove from the heat and then melt chocolate in the microwave, about 2 minutes (check it every 30 seconds), then incorporate it into the cream and blend it well. At the end, add 1 teaspoon rum (optional). 6 Let the cream to cool (finger temperature), then mix the soft butter with electric mixer and gradually incorporate it in cream, then you can assemble the cake. 7 In a bowl put milk (200 ml) to dip the cookies. 8 Prepare a dish (rectangular or square, or even a tray) and place one layer of biscuits soaked in milk (I’m soaked 2-3 seconds). 9 Put a layer of biscuits, then cream (3-4 tablespoons each layer) and continue so until cream finish.
