1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon butter
1 cup crushed biscuits or graham crackers
For the Topping (Optional):

Directions
Prepare the Base
Crush the biscuits into fine crumbs and set them aside.
In a mixing bowl, whisk the egg with sugar until well combined.
Cook the Mixture
In a saucepan, mix milk, cornstarch, cocoa powder (if using), and the egg-sugar mixture.
Stir continuously over medium heat until the mixture thickens into a smooth custard-like consistency.
Remove from heat and stir in butter and vanilla extract for extra richness.
Assemble the Cake
In a cake mold or a deep dish, spread a layer of the crushed biscuits.
Pour the custard mixture evenly over the base, smoothing it out.
Let it cool at room temperature for a few minutes.
Chill and Serve
Refrigerate the cake for at least 3 hours, or until fully set.
Once firm, remove from the mold and top with melted chocolate, nuts, or fruit if desired.
