FAQ
Q: Can I freeze Pavê?
A: Pavê is best fresh from the fridge. Freezing may alter the creamy texture, but it can be frozen for up to 2 weeks if needed. Thaw in the refrigerator before serving.

Q: What if I can’t find Maizena cookies?
A: You can substitute with other dry, crisp cookies like ladyfingers or graham crackers.

Q: Can I make this ahead of time?
A: Absolutely. It’s even better when made a day ahead so the flavors fully develop.
