How to Make Pave De Biscoito Maria Layered Cookie Tart

  1. Prepare the Dulce de Leche: In a saucepan, combine 1 (14-ounce) can of sweetened condensed milk and 1/2 cup of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 3 hours, stirring occasionally. Let cool completely.
  2. Crush the cookies: Finely crush 20 Biscoito Maria cookies using a food processor or by placing them in a zip-top bag and crushing with a rolling pin. Set aside.
  3. Make the cookie base: In a medium bowl, combine the crushed cookies with 1/2 cup (113g) melted unsalted butter. Mix well to combine. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  4. Layer the tart: Spread half of the cooled dulce de leche evenly over the cookie base. Layer half of the remaining 20 crushed Biscoito Maria cookies over the dulce de leche. Repeat with the remaining dulce de leche and cookie crumbs. Press the top layer gently.
  5. Chill and serve: Refrigerate the Pave de Biscoito Maria for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the layers to set and the flavors to meld. Once chilled, remove the tart from the springform pan and serve. Garnish with whipped cream or chocolate shavings, if desired.
