| 1. NOTE: Maria cookies are usually found in the ethnic/Hispanic foods section of grocery stores. Hard ladyfingers or graham crackers may be substituted. | 2. Remove label from condensed milk can. | 3. Place UNOPENED can in a large saucepan and cover it with water. | 4. Boil for 1 to 1. 5 hours, making sure that the top of the can is always covered with at least a half-inch of water to prevent an explosion (if the water level becomes too low, just add some more hot water to the pan until can is sufficiently covered). | 5. Remove can from water with tongs or a strainer and set aside to cool. | 6. Allow can to come to room temp before opening (hot can is under pressure and will spray you if opened). | 7. With a mixer, beat the butter/margarine and sugar until well-mixed (3-5 min. depending on strength of your mixer). | 8. Add yolks, one by one, beating well after each addition. | 9. Add cocoa powder now if you want a chocolate pavé (very good this way). | 10. Beat in vanilla extract and heavy cream (beat only until mixture is homogeneous and fluffy- it will become grainy if overmixed). | 11. Pour milk or half-and-half in a shallow dish for moistening cookies. | 12. In a 2-quart glass casserole or 8x8" dish, dip cookies one by one and form a layer to cover the bottome of the casserole. | 13. Next, spread half of the butter-cream mixture over the cookies. | 14. Top with another layer of moistened cookies and rest of the butter-cream mixture, ending with a layer of moistened cookies. | 15. Spread entire can of room-temp dulce de leche over the dessert. | 16. Sprinkle with roasted peanuts, and decorate with maraschino cherries that have been patted dry. | 17. Refrigerate for 4 hours or overnite to allow layers to fully blend. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
