Venezuelan Chocolate Marquesa Recipe
Does this look yummy? Well…This Venezuelan Chocolate Marquesa is delicious!!
Venezuelan Marquesa is a no-bake dessert made with layers of galletas Maria (Marie biscuit) and a delicious cream made with condensed milk and butter that is very popular in Venezuela.
The Marquesa has many variations, such as vanilla, lemon, coffee, coconut, strawberries, etc… All of them are scrumptious, but the chocolate version has a special place in my heart.
I love this dessert because it doesn’t require baking so that it can be made in advance. In fact, it gets better after the next day. This no-fuss dessert is part of many Venezuelan birthdays, holidays, or gatherings with friends and family. But to be honest, I do not need an excuse to make it.
Chocolate Marquesa is something you can get to see in my fridge very often because my whole family loves it, even my little ones, and since it’s eggless, it is safe for Vicky to eat.
I decorated my Marquesa a drizzle of melted chocolate on top and chopped nuts on the side.
