Portuguese serradura

Simplicity is not incompatible with obtaining delicious desserts. The Portuguese serradura is easy to make, it requires few ingredients, it does not require fire or oven and it is impossible for you to go wrong. You can't ask for anything more.

INGREDIENTS (4 people):

• 200 ml (1 cup) whipping cream
• 120 ml (half a cup and a bit more ) of condensed milk
• 12 cookies (simple ones)

First we are going to whip the cream. If you have a blender you can use it but it is not necessary either since with a few rods it would be more than enough since a medium firmness is pursued.

When you have whipped the cream, add the condensed milk and mix carefully so that the cream does not lose air (you know, slow circular movements from top to bottom).

Now is the time to crush the cookies. They should not be like flour, but rather like rolled oats. 

Now we are going to assemble the individual cups. We cover the bottom with a part of the crushed cookies and then we fill them with the mixture of cream and condensed milk. Next we cover with the rest of the crushed cookies. We take it to the refrigerator and leave the Serradura for a minimum of 2 or 3 hours.

In many recipes it is indicated that layers of crushed biscuit and cream should be made. If you want you can do it like this, it does not improve or worsen the taste. What you should not do is use pressure cream.

As you can see, a simple but addictive dessert.
