Mini Pasteis de Nata are bite-sized versions of Portugal’s iconic custard tart. These pastries feature a flaky, golden puff pastry shell filled with a rich, creamy custard made from egg yolks, sugar, milk, and sometimes a hint of vanilla or lemon zest for added flavor. Originating in Portuguese monasteries in the 18th century, they have become a beloved treat worldwide. While they are indulgent and satisfying, they are not particularly nutrient-dense, as they are high in sugar, saturated fats, and refined carbohydrates. However, their small size allows for portion-controlled enjoyment, making them a delicious way to indulge without overloading. Typically enjoyed with coffee or tea, they are a delightful special-occasion snack or dessert celebrating the rich heritage of Portuguese baking.
