Carlota de Limón
Carlota de limón is an easy Mexican lime icebox cake made from layers of Marias cookies and a creamy lime mixture. A tasty, no-bake dessert!
Ingredients
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 12 ounces evaporated milk
- ⅓ cup key lime juice* ((about 10-12 key limes))
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 48 Marias cookies, (plus more for garnish, about 1 ½ (4.9-oz) packages)
- Lime zest, (for garnish)
Instructions
-
Add the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, key lime juice, and vanilla extract to a blender and blend until smooth. Set aside.
-
Line a 7x7-inch baking pan with an even layer of Maria’s cookies. I used 12 cookies per layer - 9 cookies side by side, then 3 cut in half and placed in the empty spaces.
-
Pour a thin layer of the lime mixture (about ¼ of the mixture) over the cookies. Spread it out evenly. Repeat this layering process with the remaining Maria’s cookies and lime mixture until all the ingredients are used, creating a total of 4 layers. The final top layer will be the lime mixture.
-
Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours until firm and set.
-
Garnish with lime zest and a couple of crushed Marias cookies for crunch.
