Shopping list
The beauty of this dish is its simplicity. You probably already have half these items. Here’s what you need to pull it off:
- 2 packets of custard powder (toz kremşanti)
- 1.5 cups of cold milk
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup of sugar
- Petit-beurre biscuits
- 1 cup of shredded coconut
- Unsweetened cocoa powder
- Broken pieces of chocolate
- Lemon zest
Assembling the cream layer
Start with the base. Prepare a medium bowl. Add your powdered cream and cold milk. Mix until smooth. No lumps allowed.
Crack 4 eggs into another bowl. Add sugar. Blend this mixture until light and fluffy. This step is very important. Add air to the final texture.
Then pour the cream-milk mixture into the egg bowl. Mix gently but thoroughly. You want a unified batter.
This is where the flavor comes from. Add lemon zest. It cuts through the heaviness of the cream. Add the crushed Broken pieces of chocolate. Sprinkle shredded coconut on top. Mix everything with a wooden spoon. The chocolate will melt slightly due to the heat of the mixture. It looks messy. It tastes like heaven.
Layering process
Get a wide tray. Wrap it in plastic wrap. This makes it easier to remove from the mold later.
Spread a layer of Petit-beurre biscuits. It should cover the bottom completely. Don’t overcrowd.
Pour the cream mixture over the cookies. Spread evenly. It should be smooth.
Cover the tray further with plastic wrap. Put in the fridge. Let it sit there. All night. Wait at least 8-12 hours for the layers to fuse. The biscuits soften. The cream sets.
Serving and Final Touches
Remove when ready to eat. Sprinkle a generous amount of cocoa powder on top. The contrast between white cream and dark cocoa is impressive.
Cut it into squares. Watch how the layers keep their shape. The coconut adds texture. Lemon gives a bright finish. Chocolate chips create a rich texture.
This is more than just a dessert. It’s a weekend ritual. It’s meant to be shared. Or keep it all to yourself.
Do you prefer chocolate or coconut? The ratio is yours to control. Next time you want something sweet, skip the bakery. Make this. Your fridge will thank you.
