4

Spread an even layer of the cream mixture over the cookies using an offset spatula.

5

Continue layering cookies and cream until you have 5 total cookie layers, finishing with cookies on top.

Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight until fully set. Reserve a small amount of cream for decoration, if desired.

7

Unmold the chocotorta, spread the reserved cream on top, and garnish with chocolate shavings if using. Slice and serve cold.
