In India what brand of heavy whipping cream would one use?
Amul … I don’t know names of other brands .. I’m sure some new brands have arrived in market .
Hi Xanti,
I made this today. The taste was yummm. But, the biscuit powder tasted a little dry. Is that how it is supposed to be?
Also, I whipped the cream first time ever today. Happy happy me 😀
Thanks.
Hi shewta
Yes it rates that way , a lil dry . 😊
As the dish itself says ‘serradura ‘ sawdust 😊
Hi Canto..I am using Amul whipping cream and it’s taking forever to form peaks with the electric hand beater
Hi Michelle
Make sure your cream is well chilled , also the bowl that you use to whip , make sure you chill it as well before using .
Can I add gelatin in the serradura and how much should I add.
Hi Marian
I don’t use gelatine in serradura
