Helado de Galleticas de Maria (Maria Cookies with Ice Cream recipe)
courtesy of Cocina Cubana Club (please join) / Pascual Perez and chef Sonia Martinez

This is an ice cream that was served quite often at our home. Galleticas de Maria is a not-too-sweet flat cookie that comes in rolls. If you can't find them, use Lorna Doones instead, or you can also use a shortbread cookie.

1 can sweet condensed milk
1 can evaporated milk
1/2 roll of Galleticas de Maria (about 12 or so thin cookies)

Crush the cookies in a food processor or place between sheets of wax paper and roll it with a heavy rolling pin. You want some pieces, not fine crumbs.

Mix the two canned milks well, incorporating the evaporated milk into the sweet condensed a little at a time, whisking away after each addition. Add the cookies and mix well.

Pour into an ice tray, without the cube dividers, or into a straight sided dish and freeze; or you can follow the manufacturer's directions on your favorite ice cream maker.

This can be doubled easily to fit the quart ice cream makers.
