🍫✨ Condensed Milk Chocolate Cream Dessert ✨🍫

A rich, layered, no-bake chocolate cream dessert made with sweet condensed milk, silky cream, cookies, and velvety chocolate. Pure indulgence in every bite!

🧁 Introduction

The Condensed Milk Chocolate Cream dessert is a beloved treat in many households, especially across Latin America and Europe. With its creamy, chocolatey layers and easy, no-bake method, this dessert is the perfect combination of indulgence and simplicity. Inspired by classic pavê (a Brazilian layered dessert), this treat is ideal for celebrations, family gatherings, or simply when you’re craving something decadently sweet.

It features layers of soft milk cookies soaked in milk or syrup, rich condensed milk cream, and a luscious chocolate ganache made from real chocolate bars and cream. Served chilled, it becomes a velvety, melt-in-your-mouth masterpiece.

🍪 Ingredients

For the Cookie Base:

  • 2 packages of milk cookies (Marie biscuits or Petit Beurre style)

For the Condensed Milk Cream:

  • 1 can (approx. 395g) of sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 jars (300g each) of thick cream (like crème fraîche or Nestlé cream)

For the Chocolate Ganache Topping:

  • 2 tablets (90g each) of semi-dark chocolate (around 50-60% cacao)
  • 1 box of milk cream (approx. 200g)

🥄 Instructions & Method

🥣 Step 1: Make the Condensed Milk Cream

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the condensed milk and the 600g of cream (from the two jars).
  2. Mix well using a whisk or electric mixer until smooth and thick.
  3. Place in the fridge while preparing the other layers.

🍫 Step 2: Prepare the Chocolate Ganache

  1. Chop the semi-dark chocolate bars into small pieces.
  2. In a saucepan over low heat or using a double boiler, gently melt the chocolate.
  3. Add the milk cream (200g box) to the melted chocolate and stir until smooth, shiny, and fully combined.
  4. Let it cool to room temperature (not too hot to melt the cream layer).

🍪 Step 3: Layer the Dessert

  1. In a glass dish or serving tray, place a layer of milk cookies (you may dip them quickly in milk if you want them softer).
  2. Spread a generous layer of the condensed milk cream on top.
  3. Add another layer of cookies, followed by more cream. Repeat until the cream is used up.
  4. Finally, pour the cooled chocolate ganache over the top layer, smoothing it out evenly.
  5. Optional: Garnish with grated chocolate, cookie crumbs, or chocolate shavings.

❄️ Step 4: Chill and Serve

  1. Cover the dish with plastic wrap or a lid.
  2. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight, to allow the layers to set.
  3. Serve chilled in slices or scoops.

📖 History & Origin

This dessert takes its inspiration from Brazilian “pavê”, a no-bake dessert popularized in the 1960s when condensed milk and cream in jars became more available to home cooks. The name “pavê” comes from the French word pavé, meaning pavement or cobblestone, referring to the layered structure of cookies and cream.

Over time, the recipe evolved and spread to other countries, with each culture adding its twist — using chocolate, fruits, nuts, or even liqueurs. The version here is a creamy chocolate interpretation, blending European chocolate tradition with Latin American sweetness.

🧪 Formation & Texture

This dessert forms in chilled layers. The cookies soften under the cream’s moisture, turning cake-like. The condensed milk cream becomes a custard-like base, while the ganache hardens slightly on top into a rich chocolate shell. Each spoonful is a fusion of textures — soft, creamy, and silky with just a hint of crunch from the cookie base.
