was going to post what i cooked tonight - a quick fix "braised" dish perfect for a chilling cold rainy winter weeknight. but i'll save that for the next post.
as promised, the belated dessert for mums day.
-Serradura-
this is a classic portuguese dessert i first tried in macau. serradura's more widely known as sawdust pudding because of the grounded biscuits that go between the layers of cream. this is one dessert for which i have a love-hate relationship with *if you could have any form of relationship with a dessert, that is...* with the world's simplest ingredients, being pretty much just condensed milk, cream and grounded biscuits, this dessert is the worst layering nightmare! why?! because cream does not stick to a powdered biscuit surface. so understandably, the versions commonly seen have v thick layers of cream. but being a bit of a layer freak, i ended up with quite a number of layers *which took about 2 hours of intense layering* with continuous curses and jinxes flying out every few seconds.
as painful as it is, this is undoubtedly a lovely dessert. lovely in its simpicity in taste. and not a bad way to express my thank u to the mums!
