Serradura

What is it?

Whipped cream layered with finely crushed Marie biscuits, this chilled dessert is Oporto's Portuguese-style sweet. Biscuit crumbs give it a sandy texture, while the cream stays smooth and lightly sweetened. As the layers sit together, the biscuits soften a little, so each spoonful shifts between dry crumb and cream. Known in Portuguese as "sawdust pudding" for that gritty biscuit texture, it's a Macanese-Portuguese dessert folded into Oporto's menu as a signature sweet. Compared with the chain's burgers and wraps, it's one of the few items built entirely around dairy and biscuit, and it works best eaten cold from the fridge.
