Prepare the Lemon Cream: Start by juicing the 8 lemons to get their flavorful juice. In a bowl, combine the evaporated milk, condensed milk, and half cream. Slowly mix in the lemon juice until the mixture thickens. You can use a blender for a smoother consistency or whisk by hand for a nice arm workout!
Assemble the Carlota: In a refractory mold, lay down a layer of Maria cookies as the base. Pour a layer of the lemon cream over the cookies. Repeat this layering process until you finish with a creamy layer on top.
Chill: Place the assembled Lemon Carlota into the freezer for 30 minutes. If you have the time, refrigerate it overnight to really let the flavors meld together.
Decorate and Serve: Before serving, dust the top with a light sprinkle of cinnamon. For an extra touch, cost yourself to cut individual portions and decorate them with rose-shaped lemon peels for that wow factor!
