Lemon Marquesa

Ingredients

• 500 g Sweetened condensed milk
• 400 g Heavy cream (The author used whipping cream for a firmer result; cooking cream also works.)
• 65 g Powdered milk (It can be omitted, although the marquesa will be less firm.)
• 170 ml Lemon juice (Approximately the juice of 6 lemons.)
• 250 g Maria-style biscuits
• 125 ml Milk
• 125 g White chocolate (For the optional topping.)
• 125 g Heavy cream (For the optional topping.)

Steps

1. 1

   Juice the lemons and measure 170 ml of juice. Gather the ingredients for the marquesa and, if you are preparing it, those for the optional topping.

2. 2

   Mix the sweetened condensed milk, heavy cream, and powdered milk until smooth.

3. 3

   Add the lemon juice and mix it into the cream.

4. 4

   Pour the milk into a bowl and dip the Maria-style biscuits in it; arrange them in alternating layers with the cream in a dish.

5. 5

   For the optional topping, heat the heavy cream and add it to the white chocolate; mix until the chocolate melts and the topping is smooth.

6. 6

   Spread the topping over the marquesa if desired.

Notes

The source does not specify the method, chilling time, or when to add the topping; the assembly and topping instructions have been minimally completed to make the ingredient list usable. The topping is optional.
