Serradura (Sawdust Pudding)

'Serradura' is Portuguese for 'sawdust', a nod to the fine biscuit crumbs, and the Cantonese name, muk hong bou din, means the same thing.
Layers of whipped cream sweetened with condensed milk alternate with finely crushed Marie biscuits, then the dessert is chilled for several hours until set. Cafes and dessert shops sell it in small cups.
Why it's made this way: The pudding came from Portugal and became one of Macau's best-known sweets during Portuguese rule; the dessert shops of Taipa Village are the usual place to find it.
