Ingredients
- 200 ml milk (about 7/8 cup)
- 1 can (395 g / 14 oz) heavy cream
- 1 can (395 g / 14 oz) sweetened condensed milk

- Milk or Maria biscuits (for layering)
- Dulce de leche (for topping and decoration)
Equipment Needed

Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Mix the Creamy Base
In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, and lemon drink powder until silky smooth and slightly thickened.
2. Create the First Layer
Spread a generous spoonful of the cream mixture evenly over the bottom of your serving dish.
3. Soak & Layer the Biscuits
Briefly dip each biscuit in milk until lightly softened. Arrange them in a single layer on top of the cream.
4. Add Another Creamy Layer
Spoon more of the cream mixture over the biscuit layer, covering it completely.
5. Decorate with Dulce de Leche
Warm the dulce de leche slightly for easier piping. Drizzle decorative lines or swirls over the top using a piping bag or spoon.
6. Chill Until Set
Refrigerate the dessert for at least 1 hour until firm and ready to serve
