Sophia

Ingredients
  

  • 14 oz 395 g sweetened condensed milk
  • cups 600 g heavy cream
  • cup 110 ml fresh Meyer lemon juice (or regular lemon juice)
  • 5 oz 150 g ladyfinger cookies (savoiardi)
  • 5 heaping tablespoons powdered milk
  • Zest of 1 lemon

For Assembly

  • 1 package ladyfinger cookies
  • Milk for lightly dipping the cookies, optional

Whipped Topping

  • 10½ oz 300 g heavy cream (well chilled)
  • ½ cup 120 g sweetened condensed milk

Instructions
 

  • Add the condensed milk, heavy cream, lemon juice, powdered milk, and lemon zest to a blender. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  • Spread a thin layer of the lemon cream into the bottom of a serving dish.
  • Lightly dip the ladyfinger cookies in milk (or leave them dry if you prefer) and arrange a layer over the cream.
  • Continue layering the cream and cookies, finishing with a final layer of cream on top.

Make the Whipped Topping

  • Combine the well-chilled heavy cream and condensed milk in a mixing bowl.
  • Beat until the mixture becomes thick, creamy, and forms soft waves.
  • Tip: Don't overbeat, or it will turn into butter. Avoid using the highest mixer speed.
  • Spread the whipped topping over the assembled dessert.
  • Refrigerate for at least 6 hours. If you prepare the whipped topping afterward, chill the dessert for 1 additional hour before serving. You can also make the whipped topping immediately after assembling the pavé.
