How to Make the Recipe

Now, let’s get to the fun part—making this delicious dessert!

1. Start by preparing the gelatin. In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder over the water and let it sit for about 5 minutes to bloom.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk and passion fruit pulp. Mix well until fully combined.
3. In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the passion fruit mixture.
4. Next, heat the bloomed gelatin in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds until it’s fully dissolved. Stir it into the passion fruit mixture.
5. Now, it’s time to assemble! In a rectangular dish, layer the Maria cookies at the bottom. Pour half of the creamy mixture over the cookies.
6. Add another layer of cookies, followed by the remaining creamy mixture. Smooth the top with a spatula.
7. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.

Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

Here are some of my favorite tips to ensure your Torta Gelada de Maracujá comes out perfectly:

• Make sure to use fresh passion fruit pulp for the best flavor.
• If you want a sweeter dessert, feel free to add more sugar to the cream mixture.
• For a fun twist, try adding a layer of chocolate cookies for a chocolatey flavor.
• Don’t skip the chilling time; it’s essential for the dessert to set properly.
