Ingredients:

1 pack Graham crackers

4 pcs Egg Yolks

¼ tsp Salt

1 tsp Vanilla extract

¾ cup Condensed milk or ½ cup Sugar

1 ½ cups Evaporated milk

2 tbsp Cornstarch

3 tbsp Cocoa powder

½ tsp Coffee powder (optional)

2 tbsp Butter

¼ cup Marshmallows (optional)

Milk or water for dipping graham crackers

Additional Ingredients (optional):

Shredded chocolate or chocolate ganache

Chocolate sprinkles

Directions:

Step 1:

Start by combining 4 egg yolks, ¼ teaspoon of salt, vanilla extract, and condensed milk in a pan, and mix until well combined.

Step 2:

Incorporate the evaporated milk into the mixture, then sift in cocoa powder, cornstarch, and coffee powder (optional). Stir until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.

Step 3:

Turn on the heat and stir continuously until the mixture reaches the desired thickness. Then turn off the heat, add the butter, and mix until the butter melts. Allow the chocolate custard to cool completely in the refrigerator.

Step 4:

Assemble the layers by dipping graham crackers into either milk or water and arranging them at the base of a pan. Proceed to layer the graham crackers with the chocolate custard, ensuring each layer is not excessively thick. Add another layer of graham crackers on top and repeat the process, creating as many layers as desired.

Step 5:

On the final layer, add chocolate custard, ensuring it covers the graham crackers. Sprinkle marshmallows generously and add more chocolate custard, spreading it evenly. Enhance the presentation by adding shredded chocolate or drizzling chocolate ganache, chocolate sprinkles, or any preferred toppings. See the quick and easy ganache recipe here.

Step 6:

Chill in the fridge overnight or for at least 4 hours in the freezer before serving.

Tips:

• Experiment with different graham cracker variations, such as flavored or cinnamon-infused ones.

• Adjust the sweetness by modifying the amount of condensed milk or sugar used.

• For a richer flavor, try adding a layer of chocolate ganache between the graham cracker layers.

• Serve chilled for a refreshing and delightful treat.

Serve & Enjoy! 💖
