Pavê Brazilian dessert

Introduction:

Pavê is a beloved Brazilian dessert characterized by its layers of creamy filling and softened cookies or biscuits. Known for its simplicity and rich flavor, it’s a no-bake treat often served at special gatherings and holidays. The name “Pavê” originates from the French word for “paving,” symbolizing the layered look of the dessert.
