Layered Vanilla Custard, Jelly and Biscuit Dessert

Ingredients

• 1 L Whole milk (Use some of the milk to dissolve the custard powder before adding it to the heated milk.)
• 4 tbsp Vanilla custard powder (Mix with reserved milk until smooth before adding to the remaining milk.)
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar (The transcript does not clearly state the amount; adjust to taste.)
• 1 packet Strawberry jelly powder (Prepare according to the packet directions, then chill until set. Packet size is not stated; approximately 85 g assumed.)
• 200 g Plain biscuits or cookies (Crush for the center layer and decoration; the exact biscuit type and amount are not stated in the transcript.)

Steps

1. 1

   Prepare the strawberry jelly according to the instructions on its packet. Pour it into a shallow container or mold and refrigerate until completely set, about 2 to 3 hours.

2. 2

   Pour the milk into a heavy saucepan, reserving a portion in a separate bowl for the custard powder. Add the sugar to the saucepan if using, and heat the milk over medium heat until hot and steaming; do not let it scorch.

3. 3

   Add the vanilla custard powder to the reserved milk and whisk until completely smooth, with no visible lumps.

4. 4

   Pour the custard mixture into the hot milk in a slow stream while whisking continuously. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the milk thickens into a smooth, spoon-coating custard.

5. 5

   Remove the custard from the heat and let it cool briefly, stirring occasionally so a skin does not form. It should remain pourable but noticeably thick.

6. 6

   Pour a layer of the custard into a serving dish or individual glasses. Refrigerate until lightly set before adding the next layer, if needed to keep the layers distinct.

7. 7

   Add a layer of the prepared strawberry jelly over the custard. Handle the jelly gently so it remains in a neat layer.

8. 8

   Crush the biscuits into coarse crumbs. Sprinkle or spoon the crushed biscuits into the center as shown in the video, then cover or finish with additional custard and jelly layers as desired.

9. 9

   Refrigerate the assembled dessert until thoroughly chilled and firm, at least 1 hour. Serve cold.

Notes

The transcript is partially garbled and does not clearly specify the sugar quantity, jelly packet size, biscuit quantity, exact vessel, or precise layering order. The video clearly describes thickening milk with 4 tablespoons of vanilla custard, adding strawberry jelly, and placing crushed biscuits in the center. Keep refrigerated and serve cold.
