Instructions

1.	Start by soaking the gelatin sheets in cold water. In the meantime, separate the egg whites from the yolks and beat the whites until stiff peaks form.
2.	In a separate bowl, beat the heavy cream until it thickens. Add the sweetened condensed milk and mix well.
3.	Squeeze the excess water out of the soaked gelatine sheets and melt them in a saucepan on a low heat.
4.	Add the melted gelatine to the cream mixture and stir well. Fold in the beaten egg whites carefully.
5.	To assemble the pudding, crush the goya maria bolachas and layer the bottom of a pudding mold with them. Pour the cream mixture over the biscuits and chill in the fridge for at least 3 hours before serving.
