Bolo Bolacha is a popular Portuguese dessert, often referred to as "biscuit cake." This no-bake treat consists of layers of Maria biscuits soaked in coffee or milk, alternated with a rich buttercream made from sugar and butter, sometimes enhanced with egg yolks or flavored with vanilla or cocoa. Its origin is rooted in traditional Portuguese home cooking, where simple pantry staples are transformed into comforting sweets. While Bolo Bolacha is beloved for its creamy texture and indulgent flavor, it is quite high in sugar, saturated fats, and calories due to the buttercream and biscuits. Healthier adaptations can use plant-based butter, reduced sugar, or whole-grain biscuits. Though not a health food, it’s a delightful choice for occasional indulgence and speaks to the heart of Portuguese culinary tradition.
