Serradura (Portuguese Sawdust pudding)
Ingredients
3 x 300g double cream
1 397g can condensed milk
1 tsp vanilla essence
½ pkt crushed rich tea biscuits
1 large carton strawberries – quartered
Cooking Steps
Step 1
Crush the biscuits into fine breadcrumbs using a rolling pin or food processor.
Step 2
Quarter most of the strawberries, reserving a few for garnish.
Step 3
In a large bowl, whip the cream until medium soft peaks form (3 to 5 minutes.)
Step 4
Add sweetened condensed milk to the whipped cream and continue whipping until medium stiff peaks form (2 to 4 minutes more.)
Step 5
In individual glass serving dishes, or 1 large glass bowl, alternate layering the whipped cream, quartered strawberries and biscuit crumbs, beginning and ending with the cream. You should have about 4-7 layers.
Step 6
Garnish with the remaining quartered strawberries and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to allow the biscuit crumb to soften and the flavours to meld.
Serve: Alternate garnishes, sprinkle of cinnamon powder, toasted almonds, coconut and/or passion fruit just before serving.
