Directions

1. Squeeze the juice from 6 lemons and set aside.
2. In a blender, combine the condensed milk, lemon juice, and evaporated milk. Blend until smooth and creamy.
3. In a medium-sized bowl or mold, place a layer of Maria cookies.
4. Pour a portion of the lemon cream over the cookies, then repeat layers until the bowl or mold is filled, alternating cookies and cream.
5. Decorate the top with crushed cookies, lemon zest, or lemon slices for an appealing presentation.
6. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or longer for a firmer set. Serve chilled.
