Castanhas de Ovos
A convent sweet from Alcobaça. We cook egg yolks and sugar together into a dense golden paste, shape them by hand into rounds, and bake them until the tops blister while the inside stays soft. We serve five or six to a plate at room temperature. These are very rich and very sweet, so a little goes a long way. Enjoy them as a dessert or alongside coffee.
