The pave is a typical Brazilian dessert, which consists of layers of biscuit, cream and fruit. One of the most popular variations is peach pavé, which is a delicious combination of flavors and textures.
First, to make this pave, you need to choose the right ingredients. The biscuit used is usually the Maria type, which is crunchy and has a neutral flavor that goes well with cream and peaches. The cream is made with egg yolks, sugar, cornstarch and milk, resulting in a sweet and thick cream.

Dry shredded coconut is added as a finishing touch, giving the dessert a crunchy texture and added flavor.
As well as being delicious, peach pavé is also easy to make. It’s a great option for anyone looking for a simple and tasty dessert to serve on special occasions, such as birthdays, family dinners and friends’ gatherings. It can be served chilled, which is perfect for hot summer days.
