The Story & Intro
Hi, I’m INAYA, 38, from the beautiful island of Crete in Greece. Cooking has been part of my life since I was a child, learning from my grandmother how to make traditional Greek dishes full of love and flavor. I believe food brings people together, especially women who want to share warmth and happiness through cooking.
When I think about an easy dessert recipe, I don’t imagine something complicated or fancy. I think about those quiet afternoons in my grandmother’s kitchen, when she would prepare something sweet with whatever we had at home. No stress, no perfection just a simple easy dessert recipe that made everyone smile.
This is exactly the kind of easy dessert recipe I still love today. Something quick, comforting, and full of flavor. I don’t want desserts that make me tired before I even start. I want something I can make while talking, laughing, and maybe even dancing a little in the kitchen.
This easy dessert recipe became one of my favorites because it reminds me that sweetness in life doesn’t have to be complicated. Sometimes, the simplest things bring the most joy.
Cooking is about more than just food it’s about sharing stories and making memories. And this dessert always becomes part of those moments.

Ingredients & Little Kitchen Secrets
For this easy dessert recipe, I use very simple ingredients that you probably already have at home.

My Little Secrets:
I always dissolve the cornstarch in a little cold milk before heating. This keeps the dessert smooth without lumps.
I also stir constantly while cooking. It’s a simple step, but it makes the texture creamy and perfect.
And I like to layer the biscuits and cream while it’s still warm—it helps everything come together beautifully.
