Serradura or as it is called ‘sawdust pudding’ is a traditional Portuguese dessert is a simple combination of powdered graham crackers or marie biscuits and whipped cream. It looks pretty classy and tastes absolutely divine!

Here’s what you need:

Quantities specified below shall give you 3 generous glasses of the dessert.

• 20 graham crackers or marie biscuits
• 1 cup of whipping cream
• 1 cup of diced mangoes (for mango serradura)

How to make it:

• To begin with, we need to crush the crackers or biscuits into a fine powder. For this, you can either use your food processor, a rolling pin or just whatever is available to you.
• The next step is to whip the whipping cream. Once you have soft to stiff peaks your whipped cream is ready!

Note: The traditional recipe of serradura calls for whipped cream. However, if you don’t have it available, you can use any thick cream which you can sweeten with powdered sugar or condensed milk.

• Next, you need to fill a piping bag with the whipped cream. Again, the piping bag is optional. If in case you don’t have a piping bag you can use a spoon to layer the whipped cream.
• Finally, it’s time to assemble! Take out your most stylish glasses!
• Start layering the whipped cream and powdered biscuits starting with the first layer of powdered biscuits.

• Repeat till you reach the top. Make sure to keep the layers as even as possible.
• Garnish with a bit more of the powdered biscuits or whatever you fancy.
• Your 2 ingredient serradura dessert is ready!

Mango Serradura:

It was mango season back then and I thought it would be such a waste to not give this serradura recipe a mango twist! Here’s how to make it:

• Firstly add a layer of powdered biscuits followed by the whipped cream.
• Now you need to add another layer to this dessert that is of the mangoes.
• Repeat till you reach the top.
• Garnish with some more mangoes.
• Your delicious Mango Serradura is ready! Similarly, you can make many more variations such as strawberry, kiwi, choco chips, etc.
