Easy Creamy Nut Pavê

Ingredients

300 ml whole milk
1 pack Marie or digestive biscuits
250 g cashew nuts (or Brazil nuts)
6 egg yolks, strained
1 can heavy cream, drained of whey
2 cups granulated sugar
250 g unsalted butter, softened

Where to find ingredients

You can find all ingredients at local supermarkets, wet markets (palengke), or specialty baking supply stores. Choose unsalted butter from the dairy aisle and high-quality raw nuts from the baking or snack section.

Preparation method

  1. Process the nuts in a blender until they reach a fine, crumbly texture.
  2. In a small saucepan, combine the ground nuts with the heavy cream and a pinch of salt.
  3. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens slightly.
  4. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool completely.
  5. In a large mixing bowl, beat the strained egg yolks with the butter and sugar until the mixture becomes pale and fluffy.
  6. Gently fold the cooled nut and cream mixture into the yolk cream, using a bottom-to-top motion to maintain the airy texture.
  7. In a shallow dish, combine a small amount of 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 biscuits dipped in the milk mixture.
  9. Spread a generous layer of the nut cream over the biscuit base.
  10. Repeat the layers of biscuits and cream until all ingredients are used, finishing with a final layer of cream.
  11. Sprinkle extra chopped nuts on top for garnish, if desired.
  12. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and chill in the freezer for at least 4 hours, or until the pavê is firm and set.
