Sawdust pudding

To make serradura, you will need whipped cream, condensed milk, and crushed biscuits. Begin by whipping the cream until it forms stiff peaks. In a separate bowl, mix together the condensed milk and crushed biscuits until it forms a thick paste. Fold the whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture, then transfer the mixture to a serving dish or individual cups. Chill the serradura in the refrigerator for several hours, then serve it cold.
