Natas do céu

Natas do céu, which translates to "cream from heaven," is a traditional dessert. It features layers of whipped cream and a sweet, egg-based custard or mousse (doces de ovos), with crumbled Maria biscuits or another type of cookie either between those layers or underneath them. The combination of the light, airy whipped cream with the rich, sweet custard creates a delightful and indulgent treat. This dessert is popular for its creamy texture and heavenly taste, living up to its name. It is often served chilled and is a favorite at celebrations and family gatherings in Portugal.
