Nutritional information:
This cake, rich in fruits and with a moderate sugar content, offers a sweet flavor along with vitamins from the fruits. The cookies provide carbohydrates, while the puddings add a creamy and delicious note.

Step by step: Preparing the cookie cake
1. Preparing the puddings: Start by preparing the puddings according to the instructions on the package. You will need 1 liter of milk for the strawberry pudding and 250 ml for the whipped cream pudding. In a pot, bring the milk to a boil, then add the contents of the pudding package and mix well. Let it boil for a few minutes until it thickens, then remove from heat and let it cool.
2. Preparing the syrup: In a small pot, combine 15 tablespoons of sugar, 250 ml of water, and the vanilla essence. Bring to a boil and stir until the sugar completely dissolves. Once the syrup is ready, let it cool slightly.
3. Assembling the cake: In a rectangular dish, place a first layer of cookies. Dip each cookie in the vanilla syrup, making sure they are well soaked but not so much that they break.
4. Adding the strawberry pudding: Pour a generous layer of strawberry pudding over the cookies. Then, add the slices of strawberries and kiwi, arranging them evenly over the entire surface.
5. The cookie layer: Continue with another layer of cookies soaked in syrup, followed by the whipped cream pudding. Add the banana slices on top of the puddings, ensuring you cover the entire surface.
6. Finalizing the cake: Cover with another layer of syrup-soaked cookies, then prepare the chocolate cream according to the instructions on the package. Pour the chocolate cream over the last layer of cookies and smooth the surface.
7. Decorating: Place the remaining slices of kiwi and strawberries on top of the cake. You can sprinkle a little powdered sugar for a nice visual effect.
8. Cooling: Cover the cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (ideally, let it sit overnight). This way, the flavors will blend perfectly, and the dessert will gain a firm and delicious texture.
Practical tips:
- You can experiment with other seasonal fruits, such as peaches or mangoes, to add variety to your dessert.
- If you want to add a splash of alcohol, you can soak the cookies in a fruit liqueur.
- Make sure the puddings are completely cooled before adding them over the cookies to prevent excessive sogginess.
