Ingredients
1 tin of table cream (creme de leite), drained to ensure a rich texture
1 tin of condensed milk, the foundation of the cream base
400g white chocolate, coarsely grated for flavor and texture
3 tins of milk (measured using the empty condensed milk tin)
1/2 cup cornflour, to thicken the mixture
2 packs ladyfinger biscuits (biscoito tipo champanhe)
1 tin of condensed milk, the foundation of the cream base
400g white chocolate, coarsely grated for flavor and texture
3 tins of milk (measured using the empty condensed milk tin)
1/2 cup cornflour, to thicken the mixture
2 packs ladyfinger biscuits (biscoito tipo champanhe)
Where to find ingredients
You can find condensed milk, cornflour, and white chocolate at any local supermarket or provision store. Ladyfinger biscuits (biscoito tipo champanhe) are often available in the cookie aisle or at high-end bakery counters. If ladyfingers are unavailable, you may use any neutral, sponge-like tea biscuit as a substitute.
Preparation method
- Dissolve the cornflour in two tins of milk, stirring thoroughly until smooth.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the condensed milk and the cornflour-milk mixture, stirring constantly until it thickens into a consistent cream.
- Remove from the heat and stir in half of the grated white chocolate until it is completely melted and incorporated.
- Set the cream aside and allow it to cool completely.
- Gently fold the table cream into the cooled white chocolate base until the mixture is uniform.
- Briefly dip the ladyfinger biscuits into the remaining tin of milk.
- Line the bottom of a large glass baking dish with a layer of the moistened biscuits.
- Spread half of the prepared cream evenly over the layer of biscuits.
- Repeat the process with another layer of dipped biscuits and the remaining cream.
- Finish by sprinkling the remaining grated white chocolate over the top.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours to allow the layers to set and the flavors to meld before serving.
Observations
The white chocolate pavê is a traditional Brazilian dessert that perfectly balances a rich, creamy texture with the subtle crunch of ladyfinger biscuits. Preparing this dish is a straightforward way to create an elegant sweet treat for any gathering. By combining simple pantry staples, you achieve an irresistibly smooth consistency that shines when served well-chilled, making it a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.
