Ingredients
- 300 grams Maria biscuits
- 500 ml Decaffeinated coffee
- 200 grams Unsalted butter
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 200 ml Low sodium condensed milk
- 4 large Egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Cocoa powder
Directions
Step 1
Begin by brewing 500 ml of decaffeinated coffee and let it cool to room temperature.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat 200 grams of unsalted butter with 100 grams of granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Step 3
Add 200 ml of low sodium condensed milk, 4 large egg yolks, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture. Continue mixing until everything is well combined and the mixture is creamy.
Step 4
Pour the cooled coffee into a shallow dish. Dip each Maria biscuit briefly into the coffee so they are moistened but not soggy.
Step 5
In a serving dish, layer the bottom with a layer of coffee-soaked biscuits. Spread a layer of the prepared creamy filling over the biscuits.
Step 6
Repeat the process, layering biscuits and creamy filling until all the ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of cream on the top.
Step 7
Cover the surface of the Bolo de Bolacha with a light dusting of cocoa powder using a fine sieve.
Step 8
Chill the dessert in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to set properly.
Step 9
Slice and serve chilled, optionally garnished with extra cocoa powder or shaved dark chocolate.
