Creamy Homemade Nut Pavê

Ingredients

300 ml whole milk
1 packet Marie or tea biscuits
250 g cashew nuts (or Brazil nuts)
6 egg yolks, sifted
1 can heavy cream, drained of whey
2 cups granulated sugar
250 g unsalted butter, at room temperature

Where to find ingredients

You can find these staples at local supermarkets or grocers. For nuts and dairy, check the pantry aisles or refrigerated sections. If specific biscuits are unavailable, look for any plain, neutral-flavored tea biscuit as a suitable substitute.

Preparation method

  1. Pulse the nuts in a blender until they reach a fine, crumbly consistency.
  2. In a saucepan, combine the crushed nuts with the heavy cream and a pinch of salt.
  3. Place over low heat and stir constantly until the mixture thickens slightly.
  4. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
  5. In a large mixing bowl, beat the sifted egg yolks with the butter and sugar until the mixture is light, pale, and fluffy.
  6. Gently fold the nut and cream mixture into the egg yolk base, stirring from the bottom up to maintain its light texture.
  7. In a shallow dish, combine some milk with a few spoonfuls of the nut cream to create a dipping liquid for the biscuits.
  8. Line the bottom of a glass baking dish with a layer of the milk-soaked biscuits.
  9. Cover with a generous layer of the nut cream.
  10. Continue layering the soaked biscuits and the cream until all ingredients are used, finishing with a final layer of the cream.
  11. If desired, garnish the top with extra chopped nuts.
  12. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until the pavê is firm and set.
