This no-bake butter cookie cake is a simple dessert with vanilla cream that needs no baking. Once cooled, the cooked vanilla pudding is beaten with butter and flavored with vanilla sugar and lemon zest. Layers of cookies placed snugly side by side alternate with cream in a small baking pan, with cookies forming the final layer. You can drizzle chocolate over the top. After three hours in the refrigerator, the cookies soften and the cake can be sliced.

Milk 900 ml

Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

Cook the pudding with sugar according to the package directions and let cool. Beat the cooled pudding with the butter until smooth, then flavor with the vanilla sugar and lemon zest.
Arrange the cookies snugly side by side in the bottom of a small baking pan and spread with cream. Repeat the layers until all the cream is used, finishing with a final layer of cookies.
If desired, drizzle chocolate over the top. Refrigerate the cake for 3 hours to soften the cookies, then serve.

Tip: Line up the cookies in each layer directly above those below, facing the same direction, so you can cut along their edges into even pieces.
