In addition, Portugal has some other dessert delicacies.


1. Pastel de Nata


When it comes to Portuguese desserts, Belén Egg Tart must be firmly in the top spot of Portuguese desserts. Sprinkle some cinnamon powder on the egg tart, and have a cup of coffee, which is the favorite match of the Portuguese.


2. Bola de Berlim


Berlinballs have certainly had their place among Portuguese desserts, too. Almost every bakery in the streets and alleys can be seen everywhere, especially on the beaches of Portugal. Sweet Berlin Balls are perfect after a romp. Berliner jam buns are deep-fried fermented dough, filled with a jam filling, and usually topped with icing sugar, powdered sugar, or regular table sugar.


3. Ovos Moles de Aveiro


This is a pastry that can be seen everywhere in the Aveiro region, sold in supermarkets and shops, and is now popular all over Portugal.


Soft eggs are best known as a sweet egg-sugar mixture poured into a chewy wafer crust, which is pressed into the shape of various sea creatures—shells and the like.


4. Bom Bocado


It looks like a large tart on the outside, it is also a dessert made of eggs and sugar, usually with chopped almonds, pumpkin or milk, and flour.


5. Pastel de Tentúgal


A thin, crispy skin encases a creamy egg yolk filling.


Originally there were ground almonds in it, which improved its taste, which was discarded due to its scarcity. Pastel de Tentúgal was also selected as one of the "Seven Wonders of Desserts" in Portugal organized this year by the Portuguese Tourism Board, RTP.
