White Chocolate Negresco Pavé (No-Bake Dessert)

Directions

1. 1

   Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Pour in the sweetened condensed milk and bring to a boil, stirring constantly, until it thickens to a soft fudge-like consistency that pulls away from the pan.

2. 2

   Cook for 2 more minutes, stirring without stopping.

3. 3

   Remove from the heat and let cool for 1 minute. Add 200 g of the chopped white chocolate and stir until completely melted.

4. 4

   Stir in 2 cartons of heavy cream and mix until smooth and even.

5. 5

   In a medium deep dish, spread a thin layer of the cream and cover with cookies — whole or broken up (broken cookies cover more evenly).

6. 6

   Repeat layers of cream and cookies, finishing with a cookie layer. Chill for 15 minutes.

7. 7

   Melt the remaining chopped white chocolate over a bain-marie (or in the microwave), stir in the last carton of cream, then pour over the final cookie layer to coat it completely.

8. 8

   Refrigerate for 2 hours, or freeze it if you prefer — it's delicious either way.
