First, make the custard: In a saucepan, heat the milk with sugar. I add five tablespoons (about 65 grams).

Set aside a small amount of milk in a cup to dissolve the custard mix packet.

When the milk starts to boil, add the dissolved custard mix and stir constantly until thickened.

In another saucepan, melt the chocolate with a little milk.

Next, layer the dessert: Start with a layer of custard, then a layer of Maria cookies dipped in milk, then a layer of chocolate, another layer of milk-dipped cookies, and another layer of custard. Finish by decorating with a few cookies on top.

Line a mold with a base of Maria cookies dipped in milk, covering the entire bottom.

Refrigerate for about five hours, and there you have it—a quick and budget-friendly dessert!
