Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 g Gluten-Free Digestive Biscuits
- 250 ml Strong Brewed Coffee
- 200 g Unsalted Butter
- 150 g Powdered Sugar
- 4 large Egg Yolks
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 tsp Instant Coffee Granules
- 50 g Dark Chocolate (shaved)
Instructions
Begin by preparing the coffee. Brew a strong cup of coffee and allow it to cool to room temperature.
In a mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter until smooth. Gradually add in the powdered sugar while continuing to mix until light and fluffy.
Add the egg yolks to the butter and sugar mixture one at a time, beating well after each addition for a creamy consistency.
Mix in the vanilla extract and instant coffee granules until evenly combined.
Pour the cooled coffee into a shallow dish. One by one, dip each gluten-free digestive biscuit quickly into the coffee, making sure they are soaked but not soggy.
On a serving plate, create the first layer by arranging a small circle of coffee-soaked biscuits.
Spread a portion of the buttercream evenly over the biscuit layer. Repeat this process, alternating layers of biscuits and buttercream, until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of buttercream on top.
Sprinkle the top with shaved dark chocolate for decoration and added flavor.
Refrigerate the Bolo de Bolacha for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set.
Before serving, ensure the dessert is firm and slice it carefully into portions.
