Grandma's Cake: no oven and sugar-free

There aren’t many truly delicious sugar-free desserts, but this cake, perfect for the whole family, is an exception to the rule that you’ll want to try!

Shall we learn how?

Preparation time: 35 mins (8 people)

Ingredients needed:
200 g Gullón Zero Tostada Cookies
500 ml whole milk
1 lemon
1 cinnamon stick
200 ml heavy cream
200 g sugar-free fondant chocolate
40 g butter

Preparation method:
1. In a saucepan, bring the milk to a boil with a piece of lemon peel (without the white part) and the cinnamon stick. Once it starts boiling, turn off the heat and let it infuse, covered, for an hour. Remove the lemon peel and cinnamon, and set the milk aside.
2. In another saucepan, heat the cream and chocolate, stirring with a spatula until the chocolate is completely melted.
3. Remove from heat, add the butter, and mix well. Let it cool in a separate bowl.
4. Lightly dip the cookies (set aside 2 cookies) in the infused milk (they should soften slightly but not fall apart).
5. In a square mold (about 60 cm long), place a layer of milk-soaked cookies.
6. On top of the cookies, spread a layer of chocolate, followed by another layer of cookies, then chocolate, and so on until all the cookies are used up.
7. Let the cake chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours (longer if possible, to allow the cake to firm up).
8. Using a mortar and pestle, crush the 2 reserved cookies.
9. Cut the cake into portions, sprinkle some crushed cookies on top, and serve.

Enjoy!
