Start off by making the cream. Whisk together the egg yolks, sugar and milk, over low heat. Let it thicken and then let it cool completely.

After it has cooled, blend it together with the butter.

Dip the ladyfingers in a mixture of rum and milk, then lay them next to each other in a cake tin.

Spread a thin layer of cream on top of the ladyfingers.

Sprinkle ground cookies over the top and repeat the procedure from the start. Ladyfingers first, a layer of cream, ground cookies and ladyfingers again.

Spread the remaining cream on the top of the final layer of ladyfingers. Let your cake rest overnight.

Decorate your cake with dark and milk chocolate gratings. You can also pipe some whipped cream on top and place sour cherries on them. 

You’re all ready to slice it up and serve it!
