Base preparation:
In a bowl, put the milk, oil, eggs, sugar, a pinch of salt, and mix.
Add the baking soda and flour, and mix and knead until you get a homogeneous dough. If needed, add a little more flour. Divide into three equal pieces. Roll out one piece at a time on a sheet of parchment paper. You should obtain a rectangle the size of the parchment paper.
Poke holes with a fork and bake at 320°F for about 15 minutes. Continue with the other two pieces in the same way. In a saucepan, put the sugar, cornstarch, cocoa, and mix.
Gradually add the milk while stirring. Bring to the heat to thicken, stirring. It will take a few minutes.
Once thickened, turn off the heat, then add the butter and rum flavor, and mix.
Cover with plastic wrap and let cool.
Assembly:
Place the first piece of cooked and cooled shortcrust pastry. Add a layer of cream (about 1/3 of the total), level it.
Place the second piece of shortcrust pastry, another layer of cream, the third piece of shortcrust pastry, then cover with the remaining cream.
Refrigerate overnight, the next day trim the edges, then cut to the desired size. Place them in paper cups and decorate with sugar sprinkles.
Enjoy your meal!
