Natas do Céu

Salads, Dips, Sandwiches and Fermented Cold Dishes

Natas do Céu is a layered dessert of Portugal, whose name is usually translated as cream of the sky or heavenly cream. It is assembled in three parts. Crumbled cookies form the bottom layer, whipped cream is spread over them, and the dessert is finished with a topping of egg cream. Because it is built from cream, egg and cookie crumbs it is eaten as a sweet course rather than a savory one, and it bears some similarities to the Spanish dessert natillas, the closest relative of the dish that the English Wikipedia article names.
