How to make Boozy Dessert with Dulce de Leche Cream
- Step 1
In a bowl, mix the wine with a couple of tablespoons of water.

Dip the ladyfingers into the wine and water mixture, then arrange a layer in a loaf pan (or similar mold) that has been lightly greased with butter.

Cover the ladyfingers with half of the cream mixture. If desired, sprinkle with chopped chocolate, raisins, or walnuts.

Add another layer of wine-soaked ladyfingers on top.
- Step 6
Spread the remaining cream over the second layer of ladyfingers, and finish with a final layer of ladyfingers.
- Step 7
Refrigerate for at least 12 hours. Remove from the fridge and carefully unmold.
