Castanhas de Ovos
A convent sweet from Alcobaça, made from egg yolks and sugar cooked together into a dense golden paste, shaped by hand into rounds and baked until the tops catch and blister while the inside stays soft. Served five or six to a plate, at room temperature, as a dessert or alongside coffee.
