How to make Dulce de Leche and Coffee Pavé
Ingredients:
- 400g of dulce de leche
- 1 can of cream
- 1 packet (350g) of chocolate cornstarch cookies
- 1 cup of coffee (filtered or instant)
- 200g chocolate (semisweet, milk or Diamante Negro)
- 50g de granulado ou chocolate ralado para decorar
Preparation method:
- Dulce de Leche Mixture: Transfer the dulce de leche to a large bowl and add the cream, mixing well until you get a smooth, creamy mixture.
- Preparing the Cookies: Quickly dip the cookies into the coffee, being careful not to over-soak them. This ensures that the cookies are moist but still firm.
- Assembling the Pavé: Place a layer of cookies on the bottom of a rectangular pan. Then add a layer of the dulce de leche and cream mixture on top of the cookies. Continue alternating layers of cookies and cream until you have used up all the ingredients, finishing with a layer of cream.
- Ganache Preparation: Melt the chocolate and cream in a saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly until you get a smooth, glossy ganache. Pour the ganache over the trifle, spreading it evenly.
- Decoração: Decorate with sprinkles or grated chocolate, adding a special touch to the dessert.
- Cooling: Refrigerate for 3-4 hours until firm. This allows the flavors to blend and the dessert to reach the perfect consistency.
Preparation Time:
- Preparation Time: 20 minutes
- Refrigerator Time: 3-4 hours
Servings:
Makes approximately 10 servings.
Additional Suggestions:
- Try using milk biscuits or traditional cornstarch for a flavor variation.
- For an even more special touch, add a layer of fresh fruit like strawberries or bananas.
- Swap coffee for chocolate milk for a smoother, kid-friendly version.
- If you prefer a firmer pavé, add an envelope of colorless gelatin dissolved in the mixture of dulce de leche and cream.
Tips:
- Use strong coffee to bring out the flavor in the dessert.
- If you prefer, cook a can of condensed milk to make your own dulce de leche.
- Prepare the dessert a day in advance so that the flavors are even more intense.
- For a shinier ganache, add a tablespoon of unsalted butter to the melted chocolate.
- When dipping the cookies in the coffee, do so quickly so that they don't absorb too much liquid and fall apart.
Main Questions
How can I make my own dulce de leche?
Simply cook a can of condensed milk in a pressure cooker for 40 minutes. Wait for it to cool completely before opening the can. This ensures that the dulce de leche reaches the correct consistency.
Can I use another type of biscuit?
Yes, traditional milk or cornstarch biscuits also work well in this recipe. If you want a healthier version, you can opt for whole-wheat biscuits.
Is the pavê very sweet?
No, the coffee balances the sweetness of the dulce de leche, leaving a harmonious flavor. If you prefer it less sweet, opt for semi-sweet chocolate for the ganache.
How long can I leave the pavê in the fridge?
Ideally, it should be consumed within 3 days, always keeping it refrigerated. This ensures that the dessert stays fresh and tasty.
Can I replace the cream with another ingredient?
You can use cream or fresh cream, but the flavor and texture may vary slightly. Another option is plant-based cream, for a lactose-free version.
What is the best way to melt chocolate?
You can melt it in the microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring between each interval to prevent burning, or in a double boiler, stirring constantly until it is completely melted.
