About Portuguese custard tarts
Portuguese Custard Tarts, known as "Pastéis de Nata," are a beloved dessert originating from Portugal, with roots tracing back to ancient convent recipes. These flaky pastries feature a buttery, golden crust filled with a creamy custard made from eggs, sugar, and milk or cream, perfumed with hints of vanilla and lemon. While indulgent, the recipe is simplistic, emphasizing the richness of natural ingredients. On the nutrition front, their small size lends itself to moderation, offering a portion-controlled treat. The eggs provide protein and essential nutrients like vitamin D, while whole milk or cream contributes calcium. However, their high sugar content and buttery pastry make them calorie-dense and should generally be enjoyed sparingly as part of a balanced diet. Pairing them with coffee or tea balances their sweetness and completes the culinary experience of this iconic Portuguese delight.
