Ingredients
  

For the Cookie Layers
  • 24 cookies Chocolate Chip Cookies You can swap in oatmeal, peanut butter, or shortbread cookies.
For the Vanilla Custard
  • 2 cups Milk Whole milk yields a creamier texture.
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream Use half-and-half for a lighter option.
  • ¾ cup Granulated Sugar Brown sugar can be substituted.
  • 4 large Egg Yolks Using whole eggs may alter the texture.
  • ¼ cup Cornstarch Can be replaced with flour.
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract Using a vanilla bean is recommended for a more intense flavor.
  • 1 pinch Salt
For the Chocolate Ganache
  • 1 ½ cups Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips Dark or milk chocolate chips can be used.
  • 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter Margarine can be used in a pinch.
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream Heated until just steaming.

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, and salt. Stir until hot but not boiling.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together egg yolks and cornstarch until smooth. Gradually add the hot milk mixture while whisking constantly.
  3. Pour the egg and milk mixture back into the saucepan. Stir continuously over medium heat until the custard thickens.
  4. In a small saucepan, heat heavy cream and pour over the chocolate chips and butter. Whisk until smooth.
  5. In a rectangular dish, layer chocolate chip cookies, then half of the custard, repeat layers, finishing with a layer of cookies.
  6. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours. Overnight is better for the flavors to meld.
  7. Pour the cooled ganache over the top layer of cookies and garnish with chocolate chips or cookie crumbles.
