Creamy Homemade Cashew Nut Pave

Ingredients

300 ml whole milk
1 packet Maria or digestive biscuits
250 g cashew nuts (or Brazil nuts)
6 egg yolks, sieved
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 whole milk, butter, and granulated sugar at major supermarkets like Shoprite or Pick n Pay. Maria or digestive biscuits are available in the biscuit aisle. Look for raw, unsalted cashew nuts or Brazil nuts in the dried fruit and nut section of local markets or specialized health food stores.

Preparation method

  1. Process the nuts in a food processor or blender until they form a fine meal.
  2. In a 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.
  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 beaten egg yolk cream, stirring from bottom to top to maintain the airy texture.
  7. In a shallow bowl, combine a little 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 in the bottom of a serving dish or glass tray.
  9. Spread a layer of the nut cream over the biscuits.
  10. Continue alternating layers of biscuits and cream until all ingredients are used, ensuring you finish with a layer of cream.
  11. Optionally, sprinkle with extra chopped nuts to garnish.
  12. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
