    💡Whip cream very cold, in a chilled bowl with chilled beaters, and stop when it holds firm: overwhipping turns it grainy and buttery.
  2. 2
    Dip each gluten-free biscuits briefly into the milk and arrange a tight layer on the bottom of Rectangular pan.
    Baking pan
    💡Dip for just a second: the gluten-free biscuits keeps absorbing moisture from the cream in the fridge, and a gluten-free biscuits soaked too long falls apart.
  3. 3
    Spread a layer of cream, top with a layer of dipped gluten-free biscuits and repeat, alternating, until the ingredients are used up, finishing with a layer of cream.

  4. 4
    Cover and chill for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
    Refrigerator
    💡The long chill is what turns the layers into a cake: the gluten-free biscuits absorb moisture from the cream and soften, and the cream sets enough to slice.
  5. 5
    Slice and serve cold.
