About Pasta de nata

Pastel de nata, commonly referred to as Portuguese custard tart, is a beloved pastry originating from Portugal. This treat features a crisp, flaky puff pastry shell filled with a creamy custard made of egg yolks, sugar, milk, and a hint of cinnamon or lemon zest for added flavor. Traditionally enjoyed as a midday snack or dessert, Pastel de nata showcases the rich culinary heritage of Portuguese cuisine. While delectable, it’s relatively high in calories and sugar due to its custard filling. The egg yolks provide a modest source of protein, and the milk contributes calcium, but they are balanced by the pastry’s buttery fat content. Moderation is key for enjoying Pastel de nata as part of a balanced diet. Its small size makes it a satisfying indulgence without overdoing portion size, allowing you to savor the authentic flavors of Portugal responsibly.
