Servings 4 people
Cost 5
Ingredients
- 1 package Maria cookies, 32 cookies
- 1 ½ cups whipping cream
- ¼ to ⅓ cup powdered sugar, plus more to taste plus more if desired
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Whip the cream with ¼ to ⅓ cup of the powdered sugar. Taste test and add the remaining if you want it sweeter. If you are used to very lightly sweetened cream you can start with even less powdered sugar.
- Spoon about a tablespoon of whipped cream on the top of 5 cookies, then stack the cookies and top with a 6th. Repeat to make 4 stacks of 6 cookies.
- Turn the stacks on their side and place them next to each other in pairs to form a square cake. Cover the whole cake with remaining whipped cream. Press remaining cookies along the sides, then cover the entire cake with a sheet of plastic wrap and chill for at least 5 hours.
- Before serving, transfer to a serving platter or nice plate. Garnish the center with chocolate shavings, cookie crumbs or broken Pirouette or anything you want.
