For 12 portions

Ingredients

250 ml boiled water
300 g ground walnuts
250 g softened unsalted butter
220 g powdered sugar
250 ml milk
2–3 tablespoons orange juice
580 g butter cookies
Nuts for sprinkling (half ground, half chopped)

Preparation procedure

Preparation of the walnut cream: Place the walnuts into a pot, pour over with boiling water and stir over low heat for about 2–3 minutes, until the mixture thickens. Then let it cool. Cream the butter with the sugar until fluffy. Add the cooled walnuts and mix everything thoroughly. Divide the cream into four equal parts.
Assembling the cake: Mix the milk with the orange juice. Dip the cookies briefly into the milk mixture and place them on the bottom of the pan – create four rows of five cookies each. Spread the first layer of cream. Continue with another layer of soaked cookies, then another portion of cream. Repeat this process until you have assembled four layers of cookies and three layers of cream. Spread the last portion of cream evenly over the top and sides of the cake. Sprinkle the surface with ground and chopped nuts.
