Highlights
More information
Pastel de nata may be Portugal’s most famous dessert, but its real magic lies in the details: the texture of the custard, the balance of sweetness, the buttery crust.
You’ll master all of these in this hands-on baking class, guided step by step by your expert instructor. From preparing the silky custard to shaping and baking the dough, you’ll learn the centuries-old process behind this traditional recipe, staying refreshed as you work with a selection of drinks like soda and juice.
The reward comes straight from the oven: soft, caramelized centers surrounded by crisp layers of laminated pastry shell that shatter in your mouth with each bite. They pair beautifully with coffee and tea as well as our best Porto wine.
You’ll leave with a true appreciation for this beloved Portuguese tradition as well as the confidence and skill to recreate your own tarts at home whenever you wish.
