Directions
- 1
In a saucepan, combine the condensed milk, whole milk, egg yolks, and cornstarch. Whisk until fully blended.
- 2
Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the cream thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 8 to 10 minutes.
- 3
Remove from heat. Pour half the cream into a rectangular dish and lay the butter biscuits in a single, even layer on top.
- 4
Stir the cocoa powder into the remaining cream and mix vigorously until you have a smooth, uniform chocolate cream. Pour over the biscuit layer.
- 5
Crush a handful of butter biscuits into fine crumbs and sprinkle evenly over the top to finish the pavé.
- 6
Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours. Slice and serve straight from the freezer.
💡 Chef's Tip
For extra indulgence, spread a layer of whipped cream between the biscuits and the chocolate cream. Speculoos spiced cookies also make a wonderful substitute for a warming twist.
