Pastéis de Nata
These pastéis de nata are flaky, crispy, and filled with a rich, silky custard that caramelizes beautifully on top. Inspired by the famous Portuguese tarts, they use store-bought puff pastry for an approachable home version that still delivers on that gorgeous, crackling pastry shell and creamy, fragrant filling. Also try my French Custard Tart, Mini Fruit Tarts, or Tart Crust By Hand.
