A quick cake with cream might sound like a joke, as desserts often involve baking a sponge cake and preparing cream, which can be time-consuming. However, the Milky Land cake is different. Just a few ingredients are needed, and the longest step is chilling it.

Idea for a quick dessert

Milky Land is an instant dessert made with biscuits that are layered with a sweet cream, which perfectly soaks into them. You can use ready-made caramel from a can or prepare a simple mixture using condensed milk. Condensed milk is a common kitchen staple due to its long shelf life, and it's suitable for several uses, such as in Vietnamese coffee and many cakes, especially cheesecake. It also serves as the base for the Milky Land dessert mixture.

You don’t even have to whip it

Condensed milk is created by evaporating a significant amount of water from cow's milk, resulting in a thick, sweet mixture. Thanks to this thickening process, its caloric value increases, but it also concentrates proteins and nutrients such as vitamin B12 and calcium. This milk whips quickly, and if you're short on time, you can simply spread it on the biscuits. To give the dessert a varied taste, add a layer of jam. Blackcurrant is perfect as it contrasts nicely with the milky flavor.
