Ingredients

2 cups unsalted butter, (softened (460 g - 4 sticks))
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk ((435 g))
1 1/2 cup powdered sugar ((180 g))
3/4 cup unsweetened natural cocoa powder ((75 g))
1/2 cup milk (, divided (120 ml) (I used chocolate milk) (see notes))
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
7 oz Maria cookies ((200 g - 1 pack))
1/2 cup dark chocolate for drizzling, melted ((100 g) (optional))
1 1/3 cups slivered almonds, (crushed (optional))

Steps:

Using an electric hand mixer or a stand mixer, beat butter and salt until creamy on medium-high speed, about 10 - 15 minutes. NOTE: Beating the butter for a long time is the secret for the cream to does not taste buttery.
Add the condensed milk slowly; mix until well incorporated, 2 minutes. Then add the powdered sugar; continue mixing until incorporated and creamy, about 2 - 3 minutes. And then add the chocolate powder and mix until you have a homogeneous and fluffy mixture, about 2 more minutes. Finally, add 2 tablespoons of milk and vanilla extract; mix to incorporate. NOTE: If your cream is too stiff, add 1 - 2 more tablespoons of milk.
Line a 9-Inch nonstick springform pan with parchment paper.
Spread evenly 1 /4 of the chocolate cream on the bottom of the mold.
Place the remaining milk in a bowl. Dip the Maria cookies (2 at the time) in the milk for 2-3 sec. NOTE: This is just a quick dip; don't over soak the cookies, or the cake will not have a good texture.
Place a layer of cookies on top of the chocolate cream. Continue alternating cream and cookies until you finish all the cookies. It will be about 4 layers. Finish with cream on top.
Cover the mold with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.
When ready to serve, loosen the Marquesa from the pan's sides by running a thin metal spatula around the inside rim. Unmold and transfer to a cake plate.
If desired, decorate the Marquesa. Take a handful of crushed almonds and carefully press them around the cake, then drizzle with melted chocolate.
Serve. NOTE: I recommend leaving the Marquesa a room temperature for 5 -10 minutes before serving so the cream soften a little.
