- 2 tablespoons of cornstarch
- 80 grams of butter, to be added after cooking
For Layering:
- 3 packs of petit-beurre biscuits
- Milk for soaking
- Bananas for filling
Instructions:
- In a saucepan, combine milk, sugar, cornstarch, and flour. Cook while stirring continuously until it thickens.
- Once thickened, turn off the heat and stir in the butter. Let it cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally, then chill in the refrigerator.
- Whip the chilled mixture in a mixer for a few minutes until smooth.
- Lay out a piece of cling film on your work surface. Arrange the biscuits in a rectangular shape, 3 biscuits in width and 7 in length, and lightly soak them with milk.
- Spread a layer of the cream mixture over the biscuits. Repeat the layers, finishing with a layer of cream.
- For the pyramid shape, arrange the biscuits around the edges and bananas in the center of the top layer.
- Cover the bananas generously with the cream, saving some for the topping. Gently fold the cake into a pyramid shape, ensuring not to break the biscuits.
- Wrap the cake with cling film and refrigerate overnight.
- Carefully unwrap the cake, place it on a serving plate, spread the remaining cream on top, and garnish with pistachios.
