Ingredients

• 300 g Gluten-Free Digestive Biscuits
• 250 ml Strong Brewed Coffee
• 200 g Unsalted Butter
• 150 g Powdered Sugar
• 4 large Egg Yolks
• 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
• 1 tsp Instant Coffee Granules
• 50 g Dark Chocolate (shaved)

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the coffee. Brew a strong cup of coffee and allow it to cool to room temperature.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter until smooth. Gradually add in the powdered sugar while continuing to mix until light and fluffy.

Step 3

Add the egg yolks to the butter and sugar mixture one at a time, beating well after each addition for a creamy consistency.

Step 4

Mix in the vanilla extract and instant coffee granules until evenly combined.

Step 5

Pour the cooled coffee into a shallow dish. One by one, dip each gluten-free digestive biscuit quickly into the coffee, making sure they are soaked but not soggy.

Step 6

On a serving plate, create the first layer by arranging a small circle of coffee-soaked biscuits.

Step 7

Spread a portion of the buttercream evenly over the biscuit layer. Repeat this process, alternating layers of biscuits and buttercream, until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of buttercream on top.

Step 8

Sprinkle the top with shaved dark chocolate for decoration and added flavor.

Step 9

Refrigerate the Bolo de Bolacha for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set.

Step 10

Before serving, ensure the dessert is firm and slice it carefully into portions.
