As Cristiano Ronaldo said today: I'm back 😎❤️‍🔥

In honor of Portugal's first #FIFAWC2026 victory and Ronaldo's historic record-breaking performance, let's enjoy a delicious dessert that's beloved by millions and perfect for any occasion: Pastel de Nata!.

Pastéis de Belém or Pastel de Nata are a very traditional Portuguese egg custard tart. It consists of a shatteringly crisp, flaky puff pastry shell filled with a rich, velvety, creamy egg-yolk custard and baked at extremely high temperatures to achieve characteristic caramelized, blistered dark spots on top.

These tarts were invented before the 18th century by Catholic monks at the Jerónimos Monastery in the Belém district of Lisbon. The monks used large quantities of egg whites to starch their religious habits and used the leftover egg yolks to create various rich pastries. When the monastery closed, they sold the recipe to a nearby sugar refinery, and the descendants of that bakery still produce them today. They're extremely popular worldwide.

Have you ever tried them before? ✨.
