| 400 g | sugar | |
| 8 | egg yolks | |
| 2 packets | vanilla | |
| 4 tbsp | 60 ml | cocoa powder |

Instructions
For the vanilla cream (milk - 1 L, flour - 100 g, sugar - 200 g, eggs - 4 yolks, vanilla - 1 stick):
- Beat the yolks with the sugar until pale. Add the flour and beat again. Pour in 1/2 cup fresh milk and beat well again.
- Put the rest of the fresh milk to heat in a pot for about 5 minutes. Add the vanilla stick. Pour the egg mixture into the warm but not hot milk while stirring constantly, and stir with a whisk.
- Make figure-eight movements with the whisk and stir until it thickens. Shortly after the pastry cream comes to a boil, it should be ready.
For the chocolate cream: 4. Made the same way, but instead of vanilla - cocoa.
Assembly: 5. Dip the biscuits in the milk so they soften. Dip each biscuit individually for about 3 seconds. Arrange 1 row of plain (white) biscuits and chocolate cream on top. Slice the bananas into rounds and top with chocolate biscuits and vanilla cream, bananas and so on, until the products run out. 6. Decorate the top as desired. Leave the cake for 40 minutes in the refrigerator.
Note: Of course, you can make the cake with starch-based cream.
