Grandma’s Pavê Dessert: A Simple, Mouth-Watering Delight

In a medium saucepan, combine the two cans of sweetened condensed milk, cornstarch, and 2 cups of water. Stir well to dissolve the cornstarch. Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens into a custard-like consistency (about 5-7 minutes).

Add Heavy Cream:
Once the custard has thickened, remove it from the heat and stir in the heavy cream. Mix until fully incorporated and smooth. Set the custard aside to cool for a few minutes.

Assemble the Pavê:
In a large rectangular or square serving dish, lay a layer of Maizena cookies on the bottom. You can break the cookies slightly to fit them into the dish if needed. Pour half of the custard mixture over the cookies, spreading it evenly.

Layer More Cookies:
Add another layer of Maizena cookies on top of the custard. Then pour the remaining custard over the cookies, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Add Coconut Topping:
Sprinkle shredded coconut generously on top of the final layer of custard.

Chill and Serve:
Refrigerate the dessert for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the layers to set and the flavors to meld together. When ready to serve, slice and enjoy the creamy, coconut-infused layers.
