Macau chef Ana Manhao showed me how to make this simple version of a favourite local dessert, which is also known as saw dust pudding. Ana says there are many variations of this Portuguese pudding; for example, you could use chocolate biscuits instead of the Marie biscuits. – Justine Schofield, Macau Gourmet
Ingredients
- 500 ml cold cream
- ½ 395 g can condensed milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 250 g packet Marie biscuits (or butter biscuits), crushed into a powder
Freezing time: 30 minutes
Instructions
1. In a large bowl whisk cream, condensed milk and vanilla extract until mixture has thickened.
2. Reserve a little of the crushed biscuits for decoration.
3. Spoon a layer of filling into a serving bowl, using a third of the mixture. Add a layer of crushed biscuit, and cover with another layer of the cream mixture. Repeat to use all of the biscuit and cream mixture. Dust the reserved biscuit crumbs over the top.
4. Freeze for 30 minutes before serving.
