Supposedly, the recipe has been a secret for almost 200 years and it is said that no more than seven people in the world know it. This Portuguese delicacy contains a pastry made with puff pastry, and the cream is made with egg yolk, sugar and milk.

Moreover, in Portugal there is a proverb: "A bride who eats cake, does not take off her ring". After the wedding, it is traditional for the engaged couple to stop for a nice cream cake. Of course, pastéis de belém have a very significant connotation of love, which makes them perfect to enjoy on a romantic date with your partner.

    I didn't really understand the order of the steps to make this recipe but I had fun participating. Cooking is not my forte, I went to have fun for a while and the truth is I didn't learn much but I really enjoyed the result. I recommend it!

    The best thing about the pastry shop in Lisbon are the cream cakes. I didn't want to leave without learning how to make them from the people who live there. I have a pastry shop in my city so now I can offer them and they take them out of my hands! A great success!
