Preparation

• Submerge the cans of condensed milk in water and boil for about 1 hour (or if you have a pressure cooker it will take 30 minutes) - Make sure only to open the can once cooled off.
• In a bowl add the jello into a little amount of boiling water. Beat the heavy cream until it thickens then slowly add the condensed milk to the point it doubles its volume.
• Meanwhile pass each of the cookies by the expresso coffee. Once the jello is ready, pour it into the heavy cream and condensed milk and mix it well.
• In a round non-stick form cake create layers of the cookies, then the cream, cookies, cream until no more. Put it in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
  
• Once out of the cake form, sprinkle cookie crumbs over the cake then refrigerate it for about 2 hours before serving.
