They are kind of similar to a pudding. Made of puff pastry and a cream made with milk, flour eggs, maize starch and sugar syrup, it is not advised for vegans. However, it still is one of the most popular desserts in Portugal. The locals love to have one or two with their coffee. It\u2019s definitely one of the Portuguese desserts you should try while in Lisbon. They are usually best to be eaten on site, when they come straight out of the oven with a little bit of powdered cinnamon on top of it.<\/p>\n<h3>Simple but delicious: P\u00e3o de l\u00f3<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12869\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/top10portuguesedesserts2.jpg\" alt=\"Top 10 Portuguese Deserts\" width=\"862\" height=\"557\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/top10portuguesedesserts2.jpg 862w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/top10portuguesedesserts2-300x194.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/top10portuguesedesserts2-768x496.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/top10portuguesedesserts2-610x394.jpg 610w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/top10portuguesedesserts2-816x527.jpg 816w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 862px) 100vw, 862px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The recipe of the <i>P\u00e3o de l\u00f3<\/i> was born in the eighteenth century. The Genoese cook Giobatta Carbona was sent to Spain and presented to the Spanish King, during a banquet, a very light cake named \u201c<i>Pan di Spagna<\/i>\u201d in honor of the Spanish court.

It\u2019s the same as a pudding with a few variations.<\/p>\n<p>There are also many many recipes for the traditional Portuguese <i>Pudim<\/i>! But, in my opinion, the simplest is the best!<\/p>\n<h3>The tasty dessert made with angel hair: Aletria<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12871\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/top10portuguesedesserts6.jpg\" alt=\"Top 10 Portuguese Deserts\" width=\"910\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/top10portuguesedesserts6.jpg 910w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/top10portuguesedesserts6-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/top10portuguesedesserts6-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/top10portuguesedesserts6-610x343.jpg 610w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/top10portuguesedesserts6-816x459.jpg 816w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 910px) 100vw, 910px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><i>Aletria<\/i> is definitely one of Portuguese favourites desserts, especially for Christmas\u2019 eve. Not a single table in Portugal goes without a dish of <i>Aletria<\/i>. It is made with vermicelli pasta, also known as \u201cangel hair\u201d, milk, sugar, yolks of eggs, cinnamon and chips of lemon or orange. It\u2019s also very simple and easy to prepare, but very tasty and perfect if you want something different from usual!<\/p>\n<h3>A must for Christmas season: Rabanadas<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12852\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/top10portuguesedesserts7.jpg\" alt=\"top10portuguesedesserts7\" width=\"617\" height=\"370\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/top10portuguesedesserts7.jpg 617w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/top10portuguesedesserts7-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/top10portuguesedesserts7-610x366.jpg 610w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 617px) 100vw, 617px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Next on my <strong>top 10 Portuguese desserts<\/strong> are the popular <i>Rabanadas<\/i>. They are a must for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/10-reasons-to-spend-christmas-in-lisbon\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Christmas season<\/a>. They are sold almost everywhere because, in general, they are very appreciated!<\/p>\n<p><i>Rabanadas<\/i> are slices of a loaf of bread that are soaked in either milk, wine or sugar syrup, then also in eggs, then fried with sunflower oil. There are several ways to serve this dessert. For instance, you have chocolate ones, and <i>ovos moles<\/i> ones which is a sweet from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/5-amazing-cities-you-need-to-visit-in-portugal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Aveiro<\/a> made with eggs yolks and sugar. I\u2019m not quite sure about the recipe for <i>ovos moles<\/i>, but the Portuguese love it! It\u2019s used in many other desserts, especially in the northern regions of Portugal.<\/p>\n<h3>A quick dessert for those who are in a hurry: Baba de camelo<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12872\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/top10desserts81.gif\" alt=\"Top 10 Portuguese Deserts\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\"><\/p>\n<p>Do you want to know one of the quickest Portuguese desserts to make? It is the <i>baba de camelo<\/i>! The name is pretty funny, it means \u201ccamel\u2019s drool\u201d. The story says that when a certain Senhora Valentina had last-minute visits, she used to make a dessert out of the few things she had in her fridge. One day she only had a few eggs and condensed milk, so she made a dessert with these two ingredients. But the quantity for the guests was very poor, so she named it \u201cbaba de camelo\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>It is one of the easiest desserts ever! First of all, you need to separate the egg whites from the yolks and whisk the egg whites until stiff. Pour the yolks through a strainer. Mix the condensed milk with the yolks and mix well. Blend the whites with the milk and keep it in the fridge. It has to be served cold. That\u2019s basically it for the <i>baba de camelo<\/i>! This Portuguese dessert is served in most restaurants, so I think you will easily find it in the city of Lisbon.<\/p>\n<h3>The best of the best: Leite creme<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12866\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/top10portuguesedesserts9.jpg\" alt=\"A Portuguese Desert\" width=\"800\" height=\"531\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/top10portuguesedesserts9.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/top10portuguesedesserts9-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/top10portuguesedesserts9-768x510.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/top10portuguesedesserts9-610x405.jpg 610w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><i>Leite creme<\/i> is a little similar to the French \u201c<i>cr\u00eame brul\u00e9e<\/i>\u201d. But Portuguese people have unique cooking skills. <i>Leite creme<\/i> is boiled while the <i>cr\u00eame brul\u00e9e<\/i> goes to the oven. The ingredients are also slightly different. You will have to try the Portuguese <i>leite creme<\/i>, and decide which one wins your heart!<\/p>\n<p>This dessert is served all around the country. As the other desserts I\u2019ve mentioned, it is very popular and appreciated by the locals!<\/p>\n<h3>The one you cannot afford to miss: Natas do c\u00e9u<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12867\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/top10portuguesedesserts10.jpg\" alt=\"A Portuguese Desert\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/top10portuguesedesserts10.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/top10portuguesedesserts10-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/top10portuguesedesserts10-610x458.jpg 610w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><i>Natas do c\u00e9u<\/i> is one of the <strong>best Portuguese desserts<\/strong> you will get to taste. While in Lisbon, you will have to try this one at least once, since it is so good!<\/p>\n<p>Composed of many layers, it has kind of an egg \u201cjam\u201d, which is similar to the <i>ovos moles<\/i> but the preparation is differents, as a top layer. In the middle, as a second layer, you have a mixture of cream, white eggs, sugar. And as bottom layer, you have shredded Maria biscuits. These biscuits are my favorite for this dessert! I\u2019m not absolutely sure for the recipe, because, unfortunately I\u2019m not an excellent cook and I\u2019ve never made it on my own, but my mum is!

The dish is usually served after the main course as a dessert, leaving a sweet taste in the mouth. It is typically served chilled, flavored with lemon peel, and sprinkled with cinnamon on top in a lattice pattern.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>If you&#8217;re looking for a holiday treat: Aletria<\/h3>\n<p>This&nbsp;Portuguese dessert is very similar to arroz doce in appearance. It is created with nearly the same ingredients as Portuguese rice pudding, except instead of short-grain rice, it uses fine egg noodles or vermicelli.<\/p>\n<p>In order to make aletria, egg noodles are slowly boiled in milk that has been brought to a boil together with sugar, cinnamon, and lemon peel. After being cooked, the noodles are combined with the yolks and put on a flat baking sheet before being sprinkled with cinnamon and served, typically in a crisscross pattern. Similar to arroz doce, aletria is one of the most well-known Portuguese desserts offered around the holiday season.<\/p>\n<h3>If you&#8217;re looking for a dessert that&#8217;s filling: Pudim Abade de Priscos<\/h3>\n<div id=\"attachment_242963\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/1024px-pudim_abade_de_priscos.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-242963\" class=\"wp-image-242963 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/1024px-pudim_abade_de_priscos.jpg\" alt=\"Top 20 Portuguese desserts\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/1024px-pudim_abade_de_priscos.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/1024px-pudim_abade_de_priscos-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/1024px-pudim_abade_de_priscos-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/1024px-pudim_abade_de_priscos-816x459.jpg 816w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-242963\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Pudim_Abade_de_Priscos.png\">No Ponto<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/3.0\">CC BY 3.0<\/a>, via Wikimedia Commons<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Pudim abade de priscos is the Portuguese name for flan, or cr\u00e8me caramel, as you can undoubtedly guess from the way it looks.&nbsp; Pudim abade de priscos may be the best of the many egg-heavy Portuguese desserts.

Its name means &#8220;king cake&#8221; in English and it refers to the <i>Three Wise Men<\/i>, known as the <i>Reis Magos<\/i>, which are celebrated on January, 5th.<\/p>\n<p>Its round shape with its hole in the middle, covered with nuts and candied fruits are iconic and emblematic of Christmas time in Portugal! You won&#8217;t have any trouble finding it around the country. The dough is very soft, fluffy and the fruits and nuts on top of it give such a yummy flavour to the cake. It goes great with a glass of Port wine, a cup of coffee or tea.<\/p>\n<h2>Where to Eat the Best Portuguese Desserts in Lisbon<\/h2>\n<h3>Past\u00e9is de Bel\u00e9m in Lisbon<\/h3>\n<p>Come hungry, and come ready to queue.
