Recipe of María cookie cake (mambo/thermomix)
The María cookie cake is a classic dessert that never fails: easy, affordable, and delicious. This version for Mambo or Thermomix allows you to prepare it in no time, with a crunchy cookie base and a smooth custard cream that melts in your mouth. Ideal for celebrations, snacks, or simply to treat yourself.
Why does this recipe work?
The combination of María cookies, cream, milk, and rennet creates a firm yet creamy texture, perfect for cutting into portions. The cookie and butter base provides the crunchy contrast that balances the softness of the filling. Plus, using the food processor simplifies the process: chop, mix, and program. The result is a cake that appeals to both young and old.
Variations and customization
You can decorate it with powdered cinnamon, as the recipe suggests, or add liquid chocolate, peanut chips, nuts, or even peaches in syrup. You can also substitute margarine with butter for a richer flavor. The base is so versatile that it admits endless variations.
