Carlotas are desserts that always use Galletas Marias. They are a classic in Mexican food.

Prepare your cookies

You can buy your Galletas Marías online (Affiliate).  Galletas Maria are thin, round, and only mildly sweet. They are like vanilla wafers or graham crackers, but without the cinnamon flavor. This cookie is a favorite in Mexico.

Add a layer of the cream sauce to the bottom of the plate, so the cookies won’t move. Add a layer of cookies. Add a layer of strawberries. Add another layer of the cream sauce.

Begin layering

The layers will depend on the serving plate. There’s something about trifles that I love. You can buy a trifle bowl online (Affiliate) for your fantastic Carlota de Fresa.

Yummy!
