The marquise is a typical cookie cake of Venezuelan gastronomy. It is chocolatey, dense and quite sweet, like a good self-respecting Latin American dessert.

To prepare it we will make a kind of custard or chocolate pudding, with which we will form layers interspersed with Maria cookies soaked in milk with cinnamon and/or cocoa powder. If you want to use other vanilla cookies or a similar flavor or change them for rectangular or square cookies because the assembly seems easier, you can do so.
