Dip the butter biscuits briefly in the flavoured milk (do not soak!).
Build layers:
In a rectangular dish, build alternating layers of biscuits and cream, starting with a biscuit layer. Finish with cream.

Spread the passion fruit pulp over the top layer of cream and garnish with shredded coconut.
Chill:
Let the dessert sit in the fridge for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight.
Serving and storage tips
The pavê can be kept in the fridge for up to 3 days, but should be well covered.
Serve the dessert in glasses for an elegant single serving.
For more crunch, you can sprinkle chopped nuts like cashews or almonds between the layers.
Variations
Fruity accents: Replace the passion fruit with mango or pineapple juice.
Chocolaty: Add grated dark chocolate or a thin layer of cocoa between the layers.
Lactose-free: Use lactose-free mascarpone and cream - the taste remains delicious.
