In a world full of sophisticated desserts, sometimes we want to return to the simple roots of childhood. The cookie cake is a dessert that reminds us of warm moments spent with family, where each layer of cookies and cream tells a love story. This recipe is not only easy to make but also incredibly delicious, perfect for any occasion, from birthdays to casual gatherings with friends.

Ingredients

- 3 packs of vanilla-flavored cookies (we recommend Vel Pitar cookies)
- 1 jar of fruit compote (about 400 g)
- 1 pack of chocolate-flavored cream from Dr. Oetker
- 1 pack of lemon-flavored cream from Dr. Oetker
- Coconut for decoration
- Cocoa decoration
- Compote fruits for decoration (optional)

Ingredient Details

- Cookies: Choose high-quality cookies with an intense vanilla flavor that absorb the syrup from the compote well. Vel Pitar cookies are an excellent choice, having a crunchy texture and pleasant taste.
- Fruit compote: You can use any type of preferred compote, but peach or pineapple compote pairs perfectly with the other flavors.
- Dr. Oetker creams: These creams are already flavored and very easy to prepare, which will save you time and effort. You can also experiment with other flavors if desired.
- Decorations: Coconut adds a tropical note, while cocoa decoration provides a pleasant contrast between flavors.

Preparation Technique

Step 1: Preparing the platter
Choose a flat platter or a low-edged tray to build the cake. Make sure it is large enough to hold the 5 layers of cookies and creams.

Step 2: Creating the first layers
Start by placing a first layer of cookies on the platter. Using a teaspoon, pour a little compote over the cookies, ensuring they are evenly moistened. This will be the first layer.

Step 3: Adding the lemon cream
After moistening the cookies, add a layer of lemon cream using a spatula. Make sure it is evenly distributed so that each piece of cake has a share of this fresh and refreshing flavor.

Step 4: Continuing the layers
Repeat the process for the second layer of cookies, moistening them again with compote. Then, add another layer of lemon cream. Continue to alternate cookies with lemon cream and chocolate cream for the next two layers. The last layer will consist of moistened cookies with compote.

Step 5: Decorating the cake
Starting with the fifth layer, cover the cake with a generous layer of chocolate cream. Use a spatula to achieve a smooth and beautiful surface. Now is the time to let your imagination run wild: sprinkle coconut on top and decorate with cocoa decoration. You can also add some compote fruits for a more vibrant look.

Step 6: Cooling
Cover the cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. This cooling time is essential to allow the flavors to blend and to achieve a firmer texture.

Practical Tips

- Customization: You can experiment with different types of creams or cookies. For example, cocoa cookies can add an interesting note.
- Serving: Serve the cake with a berry sauce or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delicious contrast.
- Calories and nutritional benefits: Each serving contains approximately 250 calories, depending on the ingredients used. The cookies provide carbohydrates for energy, while the creams add fats and proteins, making this cake an indulgent yet delicious choice.
