🧾 Ingredients (Serves 6–8)

👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

• Repeat layers (2–3 layers works best).

4. Top

• Finish with crushed biscuits or chocolate shavings.

5. Chill

• Refrigerate for at least 3–4 hours

• Overnight = best texture and flavor

🍽️ Serving

• Scoop like ice cream or slice like cake

• Serve cold for best taste

• Optional drizzle: chocolate syrup or honey

💡 Pro Tips

• Use cold cream + chilled bowl for better whipping

• Slightly crush biscuits (not powder) for a crunchy texture

❓ Q&A

Q1: Can I use fresh cream instead of heavy cream?
👉 Yes, but it must have at least 30% fat to whip properly.

Q2: Why didn’t my cream thicken?
👉 Cream wasn’t cold enough or fat content too low.

Q3: Can I make it less sweet?
👉 Use unsweetened whipped cream + reduce condensed milk slightly.

Q4: Can I freeze it?
👉 Yes! It becomes like an ice-cream dessert. Freeze 2–3 hours.

Q5: How long does it last?
👉 In fridge: 3–4 days (covered)
👉 In freezer: up to 2 weeks

Q6: Can I make it in cups for parties?
👉 Perfect idea! Layer in small cups for easy serving 🎉
