About the dish

Serradura is a Portuguese and Macanese dessert which consists of finely crushed tea cookies layered between a velvety combination of whipped cream and condensed milk. Traditionally, the cream was infused with vanilla, but modern varieties appear in different flavor combinations. Although the name, which translates from Portuguese as sawdust pudding , indicates Portuguese origin, this sweet treat has become incredibly popular in Macau. It can be bought in numerous bakeries, and it is a common dessert found on the menus of Portuguese-style restaurants in Macau.
