As a woman living in the US with a Portuguese family, I have always cherished the rich flavors and traditions of my heritage. One of my fondest memories is of my mother making bolo de bolacha, a delicious dessert made with layers of cookies and cream. The sweet aroma would fill our home and bring us all together around the table.
Now, as a mother myself, I continue this tradition by making bolo de bolacha for my own children. It’s a simple yet satisfying dessert that never fails to bring a smile to their faces. And the best part? It’s incredibly easy to make!
Bolo de Bolacha is a typical Portuguese dessert that delights the most demanding palates. It is made with layers of toasted or Maria cookies, soaked in strong and sweetened coffee, and a fluffy and tasty cream of butter, sugar and egg yolks. The result is a moist, aromatic and irresistible cake that melts in your mouth with each bite.
The Bolo de Bolacha can be decorated with grated cookie, melted chocolate or whipped cream, according to each one’s taste. There are also variations of the recipe that include condensed milk, caramel or liqueur. The important thing is that the cake is well refrigerated before serving, to make it firm and fresh.
This dessert is a real temptation for sweet lovers. It is a simple but exquisite dessert that combines contrasting textures and flavors. It is like a sweet and comforting hug that reminds us of childhood times and family parties.
Bolo de Bolacha is more than a cake: it is a culinary work of art that requires patience and dedication to assemble the perfect layers. It is a delight that makes us travel through the aromas of coffee and butter that envelop us in a cloud of pleasure. It is a cake that makes us happy.
In this blog post, I’ll share with you my family’s recipe for bolo de bolacha. It’s been passed down through generations and has become a beloved staple in our home. I hope it brings as much joy to your family as it has to mine.
