Preparation of the Cookie and Cream Tile
Heat 2 cups of milk with the vanilla essence.
In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, away from the heat, beat the egg yolks with 4 tablespoons of sugar until you get a smooth mixture.
Add the flour and incorporate it into the mixture.
Add the hot milk slowly, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.Place the mixture on the stove over low heat and stir constantly until the cream thickens.
Turn off and transfer the cream to a large dish, cover it with cling film directly on the surface, and let it cool.
When the cream is cold, mix the coffee with the remaining milk and sugar in a small bowl.On a serving plate, place a first layer of cookies quickly dipped in the coffee-milk mixture.
Cover with a few spoonfuls of cream and a sprinkle of unsweetened cocoa.
Make a new layer of dipped cookies, one of cream, and a little unsweetened cocoa.Continue like this, until you run out of ingredients, finishing with a layer of cream and a generous sprinkle of unsweetened cocoa.
Let the cookie and cream tile rest for a few hours before serving.
