When it comes to Portugese food I’m a big fan, I was lucky enough to visit there a few times and the classic pastel de nata or even some peri peri chicken is top of the list. However a chance conversation with a Portuguese couple who I met in my hometown, mentioned a different tart to the pastel de nata – the Queijada. There are lots of different variations of this tart, however the one I opted for was a self-crusting one (Queijadas Da Vila) which sounded really fun to attempt and it had a delicious ricotta and cinnamon infused filling! There is lots of information online about the different variations included Quiejada de coco, a chocolate based one, however this one did not disappoint and I really hope you give it a go!
