Grind the cashews very finely without turning them into a paste.
Beat the egg whites with salt until foamy, then add the sugar gradually and make a glossy meringue.
Gently fold half of the ground cashews into the meringue.
Spread the meringue into 3 thin circles on parchment and dry in a 150°C oven for 35 minutes.
Cook the egg yolks, milk, and powdered sugar over low heat until thickened, then cool.
Beat the butter, then add the cooled cream and vanilla and beat until smooth.
Layer the meringues with the cream, cover with the remaining cashews, and chill before slicing.
💡 Tip: Let the meringue layers cool completely before they touch the cream; warm layers melt the buttercream.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve sans rival cold in thin slices with plain coffee.
