Ingredients

Cake

Instructions

Make the Cream:

  • Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add dulce de leche and vanilla and mix only until evenly combined.

Layer:

  • Combine cooled coffee and milk in a shallow dish. Dip biscuits one at a time for 1 to 2 seconds.
  • Arrange a single biscuit layer in the dish, spread with one-quarter of the cream, and repeat to make four biscuit layers and four cream layers. Smooth the top.

Chill and Serve:

  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight. Dust lightly with cocoa and cut with a warm clean knife.

Notes

  • Use firm rectangular chocolate tea biscuits rather than soft cookies.
  • For clean slices, wipe the knife between cuts.
