This is a traditional Sicilian dessert. My mother taught me this version. It is alternating layers of cornstarch pudding and pound cake. Served cold.

Time 2h30m

Yield 1 8 by 8 pan, 6-9 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 cups whole milk, warmed
1/2 cup cold whole milk
6 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon real vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
10 ounces frozen pound cake
Frangelico
ground cinnamon
1 large chocolate bar, to make shavings for garnishing

Steps:

  • In large, heavy saucepan, scald milk (do not boil). Turn down heat.
  • In a large measuring cup or small bowl with a spout, combine cold milk with cornstarch until mixed.
  • Add the sugar, vanilla and salt to the cold milk mixture.
  • Gradually add the cold milk mixture to the hot milk in the saucepan, stirring constantly. Slowly cook over low heat until the mixture thickens enough to coat the spoon.
  • Slice the pound cake into thin slices (this is easier if it is still a little frozen).
  • In a glass dish, layer the pudding with the pound cake, sprinkling each layer of pound cake with the frangelico and cinnamon before adding the next layer of pudding.
  • Top with chocolate shavings - use a vegetable peeler along the edge of a large, room temperature chocolate bar.
  • Let cool in refrigerator until set - at least 2 hours.
