Prepare a 9-inch pan by lining it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Blend together 1 can of condensed milk, 1 can of media crema, and 3 packages of cream cheese for about 2 minutes.

Juice about 20 lemons to get 8 ounces of lemon juice, ensuring to use juicy lemons.

Add the lemon juice to the blended mixture and blend for an additional 3 minutes.

Start layering by adding a layer of the cream mixture to the bottom of the pan.

Place guyetas marias cookies around the pan, pushing them down to stick.

Add another layer of the cream mixture and more cookies, repeating until you have 3 to 4 layers.

Smooth out the top layer of the cream mixture and cover with saran wrap.

Freeze overnight or refrigerate until set, depending on desired texture.

Once set, remove from the mold and decorate with lemon slices and crushed cookies.
