Ingredients
- 18-20 pieces ladyfingers
- 1 big can fruit cocktail - drained and juices reserved
- 6 pieces maraschino cherries (optional)
CUSTARD
- ⅓ cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon corn starch
- 3 pieces egg yolk
- 2 cups milk
- 1-2 teaspoon vanilla extract
GELATIN
- ½ cup water
- ½ tablespoon gelatin powder
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 cup fruit cocktail juice reserved
Instructions
CUSTARD
- Warm milk in the microwave for several seconds on high until warm but not boiling.
- In a saucepan, combine sugar and cornstarch. Add the egg yolks and beat until it becomes pale and smooth. Gradually add the milk while continuously stirring.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over low heat, whisking constantly, until custard thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, 10-12 minutes. Add vanilla extract and stir several times to blend. Remove from heat and let it cool down.
GELATIN
- Dissolve gelatin and sugar in water. Bring it to a boil over medium heat, stirring regularly to dissolve the lumps and granules.
- Turn off the heat. Add the reserved fruit cocktail juice. Let it cool down.
ASSEMBLY
- Arrange a layer of ladyfingers at the bottom of a 6x8-inch or 7x7-inch pan.
- Pour half of the custard on top and spread evenly. Spread half of the fruit cocktail on top of the custard.
- Create another layer of the ladyfingers, custard and fruit cocktail. You may add some cherries if you like, spaced evenly.
- Lastly, very gently pour the gelatin all over the final layer covering the fruits completely.
- Chill in the fridge for at least an hour or overnight. Best serve cold.
