Homemade O Carlota: The Dessert That Never Fails on Hot Days

In a large bowl, whisk together sweetened condensed milk, heavy cream, whole milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Chill in the refrigerator for 10–15 minutes while preparing the cookies.

2. Layer the Dessert

In a rectangular or square dish, lay a single layer of cookies to cover the bottom.

Pour a layer of the cream mixture over the cookies, spreading evenly.

Repeat the layers, alternating cookies and cream, until the dish is filled. Finish with a cream layer on top.

3. Chill

Cover the dish with plastic wrap.

Refrigerate for at least 4–6 hours, or overnight, allowing the cookies to soften and absorb the flavors.

4. Add Toppings & Serve

Before serving, sprinkle with grated chocolate, cocoa powder, or crushed cookies for added texture and decoration.

Slice into squares and serve chilled.
