Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pour cold cream into a bowl. Whip with a hand mixer or whisk until soft peaks form, about 2 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Fold in condensed milk, sherry, and vanilla until smooth and no streaks remain.

  3. Step 3

    Place biscuits in a zip-lock bag. Crush with a rolling pin until you have fine, sand-like crumbs.

  4. Step 4

    Spoon half the cream mixture into a serving bowl or individual glasses.

  5. Step 5

    Scatter half the crushed biscuits over the cream layer, then repeat: remaining cream, then remaining crumbs.

  6. Step 6

    Dust the top with cinnamon. Chill for at least 30 minutes or serve immediately for softer layers.
