Ingredients

• 2 packs Maria cookies
• 1 cup Butter
• 1 cup Sugar
• 4 Egg yolks
• 2 cups Strong coffee
• 2 tbsp Cocoa

Steps

1. Cream the butter and sugar until pale and fluffy, a full 5 minutes.
2. Beat in the yolks one at a time for a rich, stable buttercream.
3. Dip each cookie in coffee for exactly 2 seconds — longer and they collapse.
4. Layer cookies and buttercream in a springform, finishing with buttercream.
5. Chill overnight; the cookies soften into cake-like layers.
6. Dust with cocoa before serving; slice with a hot, dry knife.
