Serradura 木糠布甸蛋糕

My first experience of Serradura was way back when I was still in high school. My family visited Macau and had dinner in a supposed-to-be-famous restaurant. The meal was disappointing, but the dessert, which was a free dessert with a coupon we got from a magazine, blowed me away. It was just a tiny slice, not even standing properly on the plate, but it was SOOOOOOOOOO good! Serradura is such a simple yet elegant dessert.

Serradura (in Portuguese) means "sawdust," referring the crumbs on top. The pudding is layered with the crumbs and whipped cream, creates a foamy and light texture. The condensed milk gives a dreamy / milky favour.

:: 心得 ::
其中一層我灑上朱古力粉(Godiva cocoa: dark chocolate truffle), 吃的時候發覺它變成一層朱古力皮, 有點像軟雪糕那的朱古力脆皮, 很好吃呢! 極力推薦 :)

Serradura

6-inch cake pan

Marie biscuits // 6
Whipping cream // 200 ml
Condensed Milk // 30g

Optional:
Vanilla extract // 1 pinch
Gelatin // 0.5 pack
Cocoa // 2 tbps


1. Warm condensed milk for easy whipping in later step. Set aside. Cover the cake pan with cling wrap for easy cleaning. (Omit if making in cup-size). Dissolve gelatin following the package instruction.

2. Blast the biscuits in a blender or crush with a rolling pin.

3. Beat whipping cream until stiff peak. Add the gelatin and vanilla extract into the warm condensed milk. Spoon some cream into the gelatin mixture, mix well. Quickly beat the mixture into the cream.

4. Spoon the cream into cake pan and sprinkle the biscuit crumbs on top. Do it several layers. Place it in the fridge for at least 3 hours.

:: Notes ::
I sprinkled one of the layers with cocoa (Godiva cocoa: dark chocolate truffle). It became a smooth chocolate coating, like chocolate-coated icecream. I highly recommended to add this!
