I’m travelling back in time today,
to January 2019. It seems like yesterday. I was exploring the Azores with Marcel
and I plan to return because I loved my experiences there! We went out
one evening to a posh restaurant, recommended by our host in Ribeira Grande, and
I had my eyes on a dessert – as always. Even the waiter complimented me on
my choice and Marcel... well, he ordered a portion, too. He liked it that much!
It became one of his favourite desserts ever.
I have been trying and trying to
find its name (I did find the bill, in the end), navigating through several
recipe versions. I stuck to one that resembles most what we savoured there, quenching our wanderlust and love for special desserts.
This dessert (sobremesa in Portuguese) is very easy to make.
Crush the biscuits (I used Petit
Beurre type biscuits and my blender helped me a lot).
Whip the cream well and gradually mix in the condensed milk. If you decide to use a homemade
condensed milk version, you can find it here.
How to set this dessert up? A layer of crushed biscuits, a
layer of cream, a layer of crushed biscuits, a layer of cream, and then another
thin layer of crushed biscuits. You can use a larger bowl or individual cups.
Let it sit in the fridge for at
least 2 hours. It is going to be hard to resist, but I promise it is worth it!
