Biscuit and Cream Layered Dessert with Caramel Topping

This creamy, rich and elegant dessert is my family’s favourite dessert and it’s the easiest anyone can ever make or think of. The best part about this dessert is that no cooking or heating is involved. The only hard part is the whipping time that takes for whisking the whole mixture. This particular dessert is made at home every time somebody feels like having a dessert no matter it’s a party or just a normal day. The recipe can be doubled or tripled as per requirement.

Ingredients:
1 packet Ulker biscuits
2 Sachet Dream whip(Whip cream powder)
2 small cans- Chilled evaporated milk (I used Rainbow milk)
1 packet Caramel dessert mix(use the caramel for topping only)
1 tsp Vanilla essence
Milk as required (to dip the biscuits)

Preparation:
1. Dip the biscuits in milk and layer it in a clear glass dish. Make 2-3 layers. Here, the biscuit should be a bit soaky.
2. Keep it in refrigerator.
3. Meanwhile, whisk up caramel dessert mix (only powder and not the caramel liquid) along with dreamwhip and rainbow milk until you get a thick mousse like mixture. And to make it thick, you need to whip for very long time in medium speed.(appx 20-25 minutes). It is important to note that you CANNOT use a juicer or blender to whisk up the mixture. Use a hand whisk (Egg beater) for this.
4. Add in vanilla extract at the end and whisk for a couple of minutes. Pour this over the biscuit mixture and chill for about 3-4 hours.
5. Serve in slices and drizzle caramel on top or even chocolate shavings. You can also drizzle chocolate cream.
