Ingredients

300 ml full-cream milk
1 pack plain digestive or Maria biscuits
250 g cashew nuts (or Brazil nuts)
6 egg yolks, sieved
1 tin cream, drained of whey
2 cups caster sugar
250 g unsalted butter, softened

Where to find ingredients

Find these ingredients at supermarkets in major hubs like Port Moresby or Lae. Look for dairy and baking staples in the refrigerated sections and dry goods aisles. Canned cream is widely available in the international or baking aisles.

Preparation method

  1. Pulse the nuts in a food processor or blender until they reach a fine, crumb-like consistency.
  2. In a saucepan, stir together the ground nuts, cream, and a pinch of salt.
  3. Place over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens slightly.
  4. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool down.
  5. In a large mixing bowl, beat the sieved egg yolks with the butter and sugar until the mixture is pale and fluffy.
  6. Gently fold the nut and cream mixture into the yolk cream, using an upward motion to maintain the airy texture.
  7. In a shallow bowl, mix a splash of milk with a few spoonfuls of the nut cream to create a soaking liquid for the biscuits.
  8. Arrange a layer of the soaked biscuits on the bottom of a glass baking dish.
  9. Spread an even layer of the nut cream over the biscuits.
  10. Continue layering the biscuits and cream until you have used all ingredients, ensuring the final layer is cream.
  11. If desired, sprinkle some extra crushed nuts over the top for garnish.
  12. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
