On October 27, 2024, University of Macau Moon Chun Memorial College Dom Pedro V House student leaders led a group of MCMCers in a Serradura pudding-making activity. The event attracted 15 enthusiastic students from different grades, aiming to allow them to experience the joy of making this traditional Macanese dessert.

On the day of the event, under the guidance of the student leaders, participants first learned about the origins, preparation methods, and flavor characteristics of Serradura pudding. Eager to get started, everyone jumped into the cooking process. During the activity, the students worked efficiently in teams: some whipped cream until it was smooth and creamy, while others mixed the pre-prepared cookie crumbs to add texture to the pudding. Throughout the process, participants also expressed their creativity by experimenting with different flavors of jams and chocolate sauces, hoping to create unique and delicious variations of the dessert.

After over an hour of effort, beautifully presented cups of Serradura pudding were finally ready. Students eagerly tasted their creations, their faces glowing with satisfaction and joy. Everyone agreed that the pudding not only looked enticing but also had a rich and delicate flavor, especially enhanced by the flavors they had personally chosen.
