About Portuguese custard

Portuguese Custard, known as "Pastéis de Nata," is a beloved dessert from Portugal with a rich culinary heritage. These small, flaky tarts are filled with a creamy custard made from egg yolks, sugar, milk or cream, and a touch of vanilla or lemon zest for flavor. The golden brown top is achieved through baking at high heat, creating a caramelized finish that enhances their appeal. While irresistibly delicious, they are an indulgent treat, as they are high in sugar, fats, and refined ingredients. However, their small serving size allows for portion control when enjoyed in moderation. Often relished with a sprinkle of cinnamon or powdered sugar, Portuguese Custard captures the essence of Portuguese baking tradition, offering a delightful, albeit occasional, sweet addition to your diet.
