Ingredients
To prepare this delicious Pavê Trufado, you will need the following ingredients:
- 100g of Leite Ninho (powdered milk)
- 1 box of sweetened condensed milk
- 1 box of heavy cream (creme de leite)
- 480ml of whole milk
- 40g of cornstarch (amido de milho)
- 120g of white chocolate
- Nutella (to taste)
- Maizena cookies (or any similar cookies)
Step-by-Step Preparation
Preparing the Leite Ninho Cream
- Mix the Base Ingredients: In a saucepan, combine 100g of Leite Ninho and 1 box of sweetened condensed milk. Mix well to dissolve the powdered milk.
- Add Heavy Cream: Next, add 1 box of heavy cream to the mixture and stir until well combined.
- Incorporate Milk: Gradually add 480ml of whole milk to the mixture, stirring continuously.
- Add Cornstarch: Mix in 40g of cornstarch, using a whisk to ensure there are no lumps. The whisk helps incorporate air and evenly distribute the ingredients.
- Cook the Mixture: Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir constantly until the cream thickens and begins to boil. The final texture should be thick, smooth, and creamy.
- Add White Chocolate: Once the cream is at the right consistency, lower the heat and add 120g of white chocolate. Switch to a whisk to help the chocolate melt quickly and evenly.
- Cover the Cream: To prevent a skin from forming, cover the cream with plastic wrap, ensuring it touches the surface.
Preparing the Nutella Cream
- Mix Nutella and Heavy Cream: In a separate bowl, combine Nutella with a bit of heavy cream to create a ganache-like consistency. This will enhance the Nutella flavor in the dessert.
Assembling the Pavê
- Layering the Ingredients: Start by placing a layer of the Leite Ninho cream in a serving dish.
- Soak the Cookies: Dip the Maizena cookies in milk briefly to soften them, then layer them over the cream.
- Alternate Layers: Continue to alternate layers of Leite Ninho cream, soaked cookies, and Nutella ganache until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of cream on top.
- Final Touch: Decorate the top with a drizzle of Nutella for an appealing finish.
Chilling the Dessert
Allow the Pavê to chill in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight. This waiting period is crucial for the flavors to meld and the dessert to set properly.
Serving Suggestions
Once chilled, cut the Pavê into generous squares and serve it to your family and friends. This dessert is not only visually appealing but also offers a delightful combination of textures and flavors that will leave everyone wanting more.
