These delicious little cream tarts, known as Pastéis de Nata, are one of Portugal's most indulgent symbols. Originating in the 18th century at the Jerónimos Monastery in Belém, they captivate with their crispy puff pastry and creamy custard filling flavored with vanilla and lemon. Baked at a high temperature to achieve a slightly caramelized surface, they are enjoyed warm, sprinkled with cinnamon or powdered sugar. Easily prepare this traditional Portuguese recipe at home and experience all the authentic flavors of Pastéis de Belém, while adding your personal touch.
