How to Make Creamy Dulce de Leche Dessert
- Prep: Soften the cream cheese and melt the butter before starting.
- Crush the Cookies: Process or crush the María cookies until you have fine crumbs.
- Make the Cookie Base: Add the melted butter and mix until the crumbs look evenly moistened and have a sandy texture.
- Make the Cream: Add the cream cheese, dulce de leche, vanilla, and salt to a bowl. Mix until completely smooth and creamy.
- Layer: Add a layer of the cookie mixture to the bottom of a glass or dessert cup, followed by a layer of dulce de leche cream.
- Repeat: Continue alternating the cookie crumbs and cream until the glasses are filled.
- Chill: Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before enjoying so the dessert becomes cold and the layers have time to set.
