Ingredients
- 300 g Gluten-Free Digestive Biscuits
- 250 ml Strong Brewed Coffee
- 200 g Unsalted Butter
- 150 g Powdered Sugar
- 4 large Egg Yolks
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 tsp Instant Coffee Granules
- 50 g Dark Chocolate (shaved)
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the coffee. Brew a strong cup of coffee and allow it to cool to room temperature.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter until smooth. Gradually add in the powdered sugar while continuing to mix until light and fluffy.
Step 3
Add the egg yolks to the butter and sugar mixture one at a time, beating well after each addition for a creamy consistency.
Step 4
Mix in the vanilla extract and instant coffee granules until evenly combined.
Step 5
Pour the cooled coffee into a shallow dish. One by one, dip each gluten-free digestive biscuit quickly into the coffee, making sure they are soaked but not soggy.
Step 6
On a serving plate, create the first layer by arranging a small circle of coffee-soaked biscuits.
Step 7
Spread a portion of the buttercream evenly over the biscuit layer. Repeat this process, alternating layers of biscuits and buttercream, until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of buttercream on top.
Step 8
Sprinkle the top with shaved dark chocolate for decoration and added flavor.
Step 9
Refrigerate the Bolo de Bolacha for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set.
Step 10
Before serving, ensure the dessert is firm and slice it carefully into portions.
