Step 3: Assemble the Cake

Pour the warm custard evenly over the cooled crust.

Spread it gently with a spatula to create a smooth layer.

Place the dish in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours so the custard can fully set.

Step 4: Add the Fluffy Topping

Once the custard is chilled and firm, spread the whipped cream evenly over the top.

Sprinkle with shredded coconut, chocolate shavings, or festive sprinkles.

Return the dessert to the refrigerator for another 30 minutes before serving.

Serving Tips

When it’s time to serve:

• Cut the dessert into squares using a sharp knife.
• Wipe the knife between cuts to keep slices neat.
• Serve chilled for the best texture.

This cake is light enough after a big holiday meal but rich enough to satisfy everyone’s sweet tooth.
