Cream Tart

This dessert is frequently found in Portuguese restaurants.
It is a very easy, quick, and economical dessert.
I always use fresh whipping cream, which is not only healthier but also tastier. If using pasteurized cream, it should be refrigerated for 12 hours before use. Traditionally, this recipe is made with Maria cookies, but you can use other cookies to your taste, such as butter cookies, cinnamon cookies, or Oreo cookies.

Ingredients:

• 1 can of sweetened condensed milk, 397 g (14 oz)
• 500 ml (17.6 fl oz) of fresh whipping cream
• 150 g (5.3 oz) of Maria cookies, crushed in a food processor or blender
• 5 sheets (0.31 oz) of unflavored gelatin

Instructions:

1. In a bowl with cold water, soak the gelatin sheets one by one for 5 minutes.
2. After the time, place the gelatin sheets in a small saucepan, stir and let them melt.
   As soon as the gelatin is melted, remove from heat.
3. Meanwhile, in a bowl, beat the whipping cream.
   Start at the lowest speed and gradually increase the speed as it gains volume.
   When the cream becomes whipped cream, add the sweetened condensed milk and beat until it forms a homogeneous cream.
   Finally, add the gelatin and beat until everything is well mixed.
4. In a glass or removable bottom tart pan, place half of the crushed cookies at the bottom.
   Spread the cream on top and sprinkle with the remaining cookies.
5. Refrigerate for approximately 4 hours until the dessert solidifies and is well chilled.
