Bolo de Bolacha, a traditional Portuguese dessert, is a layered cake made with Maria biscuits soaked in coffee and interspersed with a buttercream or condensed milk mixture. Originating as a no-bake treat, its simplicity and rich flavors make it a beloved staple in Portuguese cuisine. While undeniably indulgent, its main components—sugar, butter, and biscuits—are high in calories, saturated fats, and refined carbs, making it a dessert best savored on special occasions. Coffee adds a bold flavor profile without significant caloric impact. For a lighter twist, some variations include yogurt-based layers or reduced-sugar ingredients. Bolo de Bolacha is a delicious reminder of Portugal’s love for comforting, layered desserts, but should be enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
