Serradura (Sawdust Pudding)

Serradurra

"Serradura (Sawdust Pudding) is a Portuguese dessert which consists of a combination of sweetened whipped cream and powdered tea biscuits. Serradura in Portuguese means sawdust, and the sawdust in this dessert is powdered tea biscuits. The biscuits are powdered to super fine and resemble sawdust."

Makes: 5 dessert bowls (depends on size of bowl)

Preparation Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

15-20 Marie biscuits or any tea butter biscuits

¼ cup sweetened condensed milk

½ tsp vanilla essence

1 cup whipping cream or thick cream

Directions:

Powder or crush the biscuits using a food processor.

Whip the cream to soft peaks. Add condensed milk and vanilla essence and whip again till stiff peaks are formed. Do not over whip else you will end up with butter. I recommend using a blender here.

In a bowl, first put a layer of Marie biscuits powder.

Add a layer of cream. Repeat with further layers of Marie biscuits and cream.  (make sure that  the Marie biscuits layer is very thin as you want it to be softened by the whipped cream)

The last layer should be a very thin layer of biscuits.

Place in freezer for 2-3 hours. Take it out 15 minutes before serving.
