Sponge cake can be made easily at home and is lighter.

Melt 3 tablespoons of margarine in a saucepan.

Separate a bit of milk to dissolve the cornstarch and add 3 to 4 tablespoons of cornstarch to it.

Add the dissolved cornstarch to the saucepan with the melted margarine.

Add 3 egg yolks to the mixture and mix well.

Cook the mixture on low heat, stirring continuously until it thickens, about 15 minutes.

Once thickened, remove from heat and let it cool while stirring to prevent lumps.

Once cooled, add sweetened condensed milk and heavy cream to the mixture.

Prepare a chocolate milk mixture in a cup for soaking the ladyfingers.

Briefly soak the ladyfingers in the chocolate milk, ensuring they are not too wet.

Layer the soaked ladyfingers in a dish and pour the cream mixture over them.

If desired, add crushed chocolate bars or additional ladyfingers on top of the cream layer.

For the topping, beat the reserved egg whites with a mixer until stiff peaks form, then fold in a box of heavy cream.

Spread the egg white mixture over the top of the dessert.

Cover the dish with a lid and refrigerate until serving time.
