- Mix lemon jelly powder with boiling water until dissolved.
- Stir in cold water and lemon juice, then pour into an 8x8 inch dish and refrigerate for about 2 hours.
- In a small bowl, mix unflavored gelatin with hot milk until smooth.
- Beat softened cream cheese in a large bowl, then add condensed milk and the milk-gelatin mixture, blending until smooth.
- Cut the set lemon jelly into small cubes and layer half of the broken Marías cookies in a serving mold.
- Add the lemon jelly cubes over the cookies, then top with the remaining broken cookies.
- Pour the creamy mixture evenly over the layers and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight).
- To serve, run a knife around the edges of the mold, warm the bottom briefly in warm water, invert onto a plate, and garnish with Chantilly cream and lemon slices.

Notes
Feel free to substitute Marías cookies with Graham crackers or Digestive biscuits. For a fruity twist, try using lime or orange jelly instead of lemon. This dessert is best when allowed to set overnight, ensuring perfect layers for slicing. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days; the flavors may intensify over time!
