Hello there! Are you ready to embark on a delightful culinary adventure? Today, I want to share with you a simple recipe that will satisfy your sweet tooth and bring back wonderful childhood memories.

Ingredients:

  • 1 can of evaporated milk
  • 1/2 can of condensed milk
  • 1/2 can of dulce de leche or cajeta (Mexican caramel sauce)
  • 100g cream cheese
  • 2 packets of Maria cookies (my favorite brand is Marbú Dorada)
  • 1 cup of cold water
  • 2 tablespoons of powdered gelatin

Instructions:

  1. Start by pouring the cold water into a saucepan or a microwave-safe bowl. Sprinkle the powdered gelatin slowly into the water, making sure to avoid any lumps. Stir gently until all the gelatin is completely dissolved. If using a stovetop, heat the mixture over low heat while continuously stirring until you have a smooth and consistent liquid. If using a microwave, heat the mixture in 30-second intervals until the gelatin is fully dissolved.
  2. Prepare your mold of choice. It can be a baking dish, a gelatin mold, or individual servings – let your imagination run wild!
  3. In a blender, combine the evaporated milk, condensed milk, dulce de leche or cajeta, cream cheese, and the previously dissolved gelatin. Blend everything together at medium speed until you have a smooth and creamy mixture.
  4. Now, it’s time to assemble the gelatin. Pour the mixture into your chosen mold and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for the best results.
  5. Once the gelatin has set, you can add a touch of extra flavor and decoration by sprinkling some crushed Maria cookies on top.
  6. Now, it’s time to indulge in your homemade Maria Cookies Gelatin! Grab a spoon and savor each delightful bite. Trust me, this dessert is a real treat for the senses.

I hope this recipe brings a smile to your face and fills your heart with joy. Remember, cooking is an art that allows us to share love and happiness with those around us. So go ahead, whip up this delicious gelatin and share it with your loved ones.
