A lot of Goan recipes have a Portuguese influence. Here is one such recipe. Serradura translates to saw dust. This super easy, yet super delicious, dessert is made with layers of flavored whipped cream and powdered Marie biscuits. The crushed biscuits resemble saw dust and hence the name. With the holidays coming up, this is a great make ahead dessert. Just pile it in a large trifle bowl and serve to impress. I made a batch recently for Mayur’s office holiday party and it was definitely a crowd pleaser!
What you will need:
| Ingredients | Quantity |

| Condensed Milk | 175 grams |
| Heavy Whipping Cream | 8 ounces |
| Marie Biscuits | 13 |

Total Time: 20 minutes

How to make it:
- Whip cold heavy whipping cream until it forms stiff peaks using a mixer.
- To the whipped cream, add condensed milk and vanilla extract. Whip again until all the ingredients incorporate well together.
- Add the Marie biscuits in a food processor. Pulse to make a fine powder. If you do not have Marie biscuits, use graham crackers instead.
- Keep your serving bowls, the whipped cream and biscuit powder ready.
- Start making layers of the biscuit powder and whipped cream in the serving bowl.
- I topped it with chocolate shavings. Feel free to use cherries or biscuit sticks to garnish.
- Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving.
