Ingredients

  1. 1 1/2 packagesMaria cookies (you might use less)
  2. 6-8limes
  3. 1 cansweetened condensed milk
  4. 3 1/2 ozcream cheese (half of a small package)
  5. 1 canevaporated milk (we'll use half and half)
  6. 3/4 cuptable cream (190 ml)

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Blend the lime juice with the condensed milk, cream cheese, table cream, and 1/2 can of evaporated milk, then set aside.

  2. 2

    With the remaining 1/2 can of evaporated milk, soak the cookies in batches for a few seconds. Place part of the mixture at the bottom of the mold and layer the cookies and cream in batches until finished. You decide how much cream to put between each layer. You can break cookies to fill gaps if you wish.

  3. 3

    Once finished, cover and refrigerate preferably overnight. I always do it this way, and it turns out delicious, very soft, firm, and with an exquisite touch of lime.

    Tips ** Soaking the cookies will give the cake a delicious consistency, very soft when cut. ** You can add 1 teaspoon of hydrated gelatin to the mixture while blending (hydrate with water, and microwave for about 8 seconds to liquefy) to help it hold better when serving in hot weather. This is completely optional. If you use it, make sure all other ingredients are at room temperature.
