Crush chocolate cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or a rolling pin.

In a bowl, mix cream cheese and dulce de leche until smooth and creamy.

Add vanilla extract and cocoa powder to the cream cheese mixture and combine well.

Dip each chocolate cookie briefly in milk to soften them.

Layer the softened cookies in a rectangular dish, covering the bottom.

Spread a layer of the cream cheese mixture over the cookies.

Repeat the layering process until all ingredients are used, finishing with the cream cheese mixture on top.

Sprinkle chocolate shavings over the top layer for garnish.

Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours to set.
