Don't worry, because today I'm going to share with you how to make a super delicious cookie cake, the one that melts in your mouth… hmmmmm I love it!

The wafer cake is original from Portugal and there are a huge variety of different versions of wafer cake, today I'm going to show you what I consider to be the original recipe, which is made with wafer and coffee.

But don't worry, the coffee flavor is very mild, to the point that I don't even notice it has coffee. Well, it's this mix of different ingredients and flavors that turn into one of my favorite cakes.

But without further small talk let's get started!

  • Put the gelatin and condensed milk, mixing with the reserved voluminous milk cream, mix everything very well.
  • CAKE ASSEMBLY:
  • Place a plate under the pan and then a little of the white cream in the center of the pan, leaving a border around the pan to add crushed cookies.
  • Now, start dipping the cookies in the coffee, drain them and put them on top of the cream.
  • Repeat this process until the entire mold is lined with the cookies soaked in the coffee.
  • Then place another layer of the white cream on top and repeat the process of putting more wet biscuits in the coffee throughout the mold.
  • Do this process until the cream is finished. Place crushed cookies around and whole cookies to cover the rest of the pan. In the last layer, cover only with the rest of the white cream, spreading well.
  • Finally, place crushed cookies on top of the entire cake. Take it to the fridge until it solidifies and then unmold, decorate to taste and serve.
