Step 1
Pour cold cream into a bowl. Whip with a hand mixer or whisk until soft peaks form, about 2 minutes.
Step 2
Fold in condensed milk, sherry, and vanilla until smooth and no streaks remain.
Step 3
Place biscuits in a zip-lock bag. Crush with a rolling pin until you have fine, sand-like crumbs.
Step 4
Spoon half the cream mixture into a serving bowl or individual glasses.
Step 5
Scatter half the crushed biscuits over the cream layer, then repeat: remaining cream, then remaining crumbs.
Step 6
Dust the top with cinnamon. Chill for at least 30 minutes or serve immediately for softer layers.
