Ingredients
Method
Make the Icebox Cake
- In a large bowl, combine the evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, and lime juice. Stir well until mixed.
Prepare the Whipped Cream
- In a separate bowl, beat the cold heavy cream, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Gradually fold the whipped cream into the lime mixture until fully combined.
Finish the Cake
- In a 9-inch rectangular or square dish, dip each Maria cookie into the lime mixture briefly and layer them on the bottom of the dish. Spread a layer of the cream mixture over the cookies. Repeat this process until you've used all the mixture, finishing with a cream layer on top.
Chill
- Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until set.
Garnish and Serve
- Before serving, top with lime zest, lime slices, and fresh berries for a vibrant touch.
Notes
Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The flavors will continue to develop. For extra flavor, add a dash of lime zest to the cream mixture and adjust the sugar to your liking.
