Necessary ingredients:
- 500 g Petit Beurre cookies
- 2 packets of chocolate pudding
- 4 tablespoons of sugar
- 2 packets of vanilla sugar
- 1 liter of milk for pudding
- 500 ml milk for soaking
- Fresh strawberries for decoration

Useful tips about ingredients:
- Petit Beurre cookies are the classic choice for this cake due to their crunchy texture and delicate taste. You can also experiment with cocoa cookies for a more intense flavor.
- For an extra touch of flavor, you can add a few drops of vanilla essence to the soaking milk.
- Choose fresh, seasonal strawberries for decoration. They add not only a pleasant appearance but also a note of freshness to the dessert.

Step by step to prepare the cake:

1. Preparing the pudding:
In a pot, bring 1 liter of milk to a boil. When the milk starts to boil, add the two packets of chocolate pudding, the 4 tablespoons of sugar, and the 2 packets of vanilla sugar. Stir constantly to avoid lumps. Once the pudding starts to thicken, turn off the heat and let it cool.

2. Preparing the cookies:
In a separate bowl, pour 500 ml of milk and, if desired, add a few drops of vanilla essence. Gently heat the milk without boiling it. Dip the cookies, one by one, in the warm milk and place them side by side in a rectangular dish, forming the first layer.

3. Assembling the cake:
After placing a layer of cookies, pour a generous layer of chocolate pudding over the cookies. Continue with another layer of soaked cookies, followed by another layer of pudding. Repeat this process until you finish the ingredients, ensuring that the last layer is pudding.

4. Cooling and decorating:
Cover the cake with plastic wrap and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to set. Once cooled, decorate with sliced or whole fresh strawberries, depending on your preference.

5. Serving:
Cut the cake into servings and serve it cold. It is perfect alongside a cup of coffee or a fragrant tea. You can also accompany the dessert with a chocolate sauce for an extra indulgence.

Nutritional benefits:
This cake is not only a treat but also a source of energy due to the carbohydrates in the cookies and the calcium in the milk. Strawberries add essential vitamins, such as vitamin C, which supports the immune system.

Frequently asked questions:

- Can I use other types of cookies?
Yes, you can experiment with cocoa cookies, oatmeal cookies, or even gluten-free cookies for a healthier option.

- How can I make the cake healthier?
Replace milk with a plant-based alternative, such as almond or coconut milk, and use natural sweeteners instead of sugar.

- Can I freeze the cake?
While it is recommended to consume it fresh, you can freeze individual portions. Make sure they are well covered to prevent freezer burn.

Possible variations:
- Instead of chocolate pudding, you can use vanilla or caramel pudding for a different flavor.
- Add chopped nuts or coconut flakes between the layers of pudding for an interesting texture.
