Step 2: Whip the Cream Mixture
In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with an electric mixer or whisk until it forms soft peaks.
Gradually pour in the condensed milk and vanilla essence. Continue whipping until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and forms stiff peaks. Be careful not to over-whip.

Step 3: Layer the Pudding

Sprinkle a layer of the crushed biscuits on top of the cream.
Continue alternating layers of cream and biscuit crumbs until the glasses are full, ending with a layer of cream on top.

Step 4: Chill the Pudding
Place the layered Serradura puddings in the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight. This allows the biscuit crumbs to soften and the flavours to meld together.

Step 5: Garnish and Serve
When ready to serve, remove the Serradura from the refrigerator and dust the top with crushed tea biscuits once more.
If you like, add a light dusting of cocoa powder or sprinkle with chocolate shavings for extra flavour and decoration.
Serve the pudding chilled, with spoons for scooping through the creamy layers. Enjoy the delightful contrast of smooth cream and tender biscuit crumbs in every bite!
