Instructions
Prepare the Whipped Cream
In a large chilled bowl, whip the cold heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Keep refrigerated.
Dip the Cookies
Pour milk into a shallow bowl. Quickly dip each Maria cookie into the milk (just a second per side so they don’t get soggy).
Assemble the Layers
On a serving plate, create the base layer by arranging dipped Maria cookies in a rectangle or square shape.
Spread a generous layer of whipped cream over the cookies.
Repeat layers of cookies and whipped cream until all are used, finishing with whipped cream on top.
Decorate
Cover the sides with more cookies (optional).
Garnish the top with chocolate shavings or curls.
Chill
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours (overnight for best results) so the cookies soften and absorb the cream.
Serve
Slice and enjoy chilled!
