Introduction
Creamy Biscuit Caramel Layer Cake is a simple no-fuss dessert that combines layers of crisp tea biscuits, silky vanilla cream, and a rich homemade caramel topping. As it chills, the biscuits soften into a cake-like texture, creating an irresistible dessert that is perfect for family gatherings, celebrations, or whenever you’re craving something sweet and comforting.
Ingredients
2 packs tea biscuits
500 ml whole milk
3 egg yolks
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons butter
For the caramel topping:
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons butter
Pinch of salt
Instruction
Prepare the vanilla cream by whisking the egg yolks, sugar, cornstarch, and a little milk until smooth.
Heat the remaining milk until warm.
Slowly whisk the warm milk into the egg mixture.
Return everything to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until thick.
Remove from the heat and stir in the butter and vanilla extract.
Allow the cream to cool slightly.
Arrange a layer of biscuits in the bottom of a glass baking dish.
Spread a layer of vanilla cream over the biscuits.
Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of biscuits.
For the caramel, melt the sugar over medium heat until golden.
Carefully stir in the heavy cream, then add the butter and salt.
Cook for another minute until smooth.
Pour the caramel evenly over the top layer.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
Slice and serve chilled.
Method
The dessert is assembled by alternating layers of biscuits and homemade vanilla cream. During refrigeration, the biscuits absorb moisture from the cream, becoming soft and cake-like. A glossy caramel topping adds a rich finish and balances the creamy filling with deep caramel flavor.
