Are you looking for that last minute dessert, right? You just found: Brownie and Nutella Pavé.
I had seen a similar dessert in foreign countries and decided to make the recipe even easier and more practical for you. The base is made with the 3-Ingredient Brownie (or 4), it has bolacha champagne (if it’s pavé you have to have it), a super delicious cream made with whipped cream and cream cheese. And of course, that touch of coffee and cocoa.
So, which pavê-pá-cumê do you like to make? 🙂
Brownie and Nutella Pavé
Makes: 9 people
BROWNIE
- 350 g nutella (any hazelnut cream)
- 2 eggs
- 70 g wheat flour
- 50 g milk chocolate (drops or chopped bar; optional)
CREME
- 250 g fresh/pasteurized cream (ice cream, has more than 35% fat | used: 35% fat)
- 100 g refined sugar
- 1 g refined salt (about 1/4 tsp)
- 10 mL vanilla extract (or 4mL essence)
- 150 g cream cheese (ice cream)
- 200 mL strong coffee (you have to be really strong)
- 12 champagne cookies
- Cocoa powder (to sprinkle)
1 cup: 250mL | 1 tablespoon: 15mL.
BROWNIE
- Heat the oven to 180°C. Grease a 22x22cm pan with butter or margarine. Reserve.
- In a bowl, mix the nutella and eggs until uniform.
- Add the flour (and chocolate, if using) and mix well.
- Transfer to the prepared pan and smooth out well.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
CREME
- In a bowl, beat cream, sugar, vanilla and salt until it starts to get slightly thick. The higher the fat content of the cream, the faster this will happen. It should form soft peaks.
- Add the cream cheese little by little and beat until smooth. Beat slowly so it doesn’t turn into butter.
- Leave in the refrigerator until ready to use.
ASSEMBLY
- Place the coffee on a plate, dip the champage biscuit in the coffee. And place over the cooled, baked brownie. If you want it moister, you can moisten the brownie with coffee too.
- Repeat until the entire brownie is covered.
- Place the cream cheese cream on the champage biscuit layer and smooth it well.
- Place in the fridge for at least 1 hour. It is better if you wait longer, 2-3 hours before serving.
- Before serving, sprinkle cocoa powder or chocolate shavings.
- Cream cheese: can be replaced with mascarpone to get a Tiramisù style, the same amount.
- Café: you can use 10g soluble coffee in 200mL of water
