• Concentrated juice of 2 passion fruits (approximately 1 cup)

Assembly

• 200g of ladyfingers or plain biscuits
• 1 cup milk (for dipping cookies)

Instructions

2. Moisten the cookies: In a container, pour the milk. Quickly dip the cookies in the milk.
3. Assemble the pavê: In a baking dish, make a layer of dipped cookies.
4. Add the cream: Pour half of the passion fruit cream over the cookies.
5. Repeat the layers: Make another layer of dipped cookies and finish with the remaining cream.
6. Decorate: Spread the passion fruit pulp over the cream to decorate your Passion Fruit Pavê.
7. Chill: Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving. The Passion Fruit Pavê is even tastier when cold.

Tips and Variations

• For a more intense flavor, use fresh passion fruits and only strain the seeds for decoration.
• Substitute ladyfingers with sponge cake for a more sophisticated version of Passion Fruit Pavê.
• Add white chocolate shavings between layers for a special touch.
• Vary the fruit: try making it with strawberries, lemon, or pineapple.
• If you prefer a thicker cream, use a little dissolved unflavored gelatin.

CHEF’s Tips

For a perfect Passion Fruit Pavê, the choice of ingredients is crucial. Use good quality heavy cream, preferably with higher fat content, to ensure a richer and smoother texture. The key lies in the balance between the sweetness of the condensed milk and the acidity of the passion fruit. Adjust the amount of passion fruit juice according to your preference, balancing the flavors for a harmonious taste experience.

The assembly of the pavê also requires attention. Dip the cookies quickly so they don’t fall apart, but enough for them to become soft and well incorporate the cream’s flavor. Chilling is essential for the pavê to set and for the flavors to intensify. Don’t rush and let it chill for at least four hours. Serve the Passion Fruit Pavê well chilled and enjoy this incredibly refreshing and delicious dessert.
