For pie and cheesecake crusts:

3. Press firmly into a 23cm pie or cake tin.
4. Bake at 180°C for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden, then cool before filling.

For layered refrigerator cakes (Bolo de Bolacha or Tarta de Galletas):

1. Prepare a coffee mixture: dissolve 1 tablespoon instant coffee in 100ml hot milk. Cool slightly.
2. Quickly dip whole biscuits one at a time into the coffee mixture (2-3 seconds each side).
3. Layer dipped biscuits in a rectangular dish, alternating with a custard or cream filling (such as whipped cream or prepared custard).
4. Repeat layers until dish is full, ending with a biscuit layer.
5. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, until the layers meld together.
6. Cut into squares and serve chilled.

As a topping: Crumble whole or crushed biscuits over puddings, yogurt parfaits, or mousse for added texture and flavor.
