Maracujá amarillo Pastel de Nata - Yellow passion fruit Custard Tart - How to Make Pastéis de Nata

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

Preheat the oven to 100°C (212°F).

In a pan, combine sugar and water, then add lemon zest and cinnamon to make a syrup.

Boil the syrup until it thickens, stirring occasionally.

In another pan, heat the milk until it boils, then add a teaspoon of vanilla extract.

In a bowl, mix egg yolks with corn flour until smooth.

Once the milk is boiling, slowly add the egg yolk mixture to the milk, stirring gently to avoid lumps.

Cook the custard over low heat, stirring continuously until it thickens, about 10-15 minutes.

Remove the custard from heat and add the prepared syrup, mixing well.

Cover the custard with greaseproof paper to prevent a skin from forming and let it cool.

Fill the short crust pastry shells with the cooled custard mixture.

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until golden.

Remove from the oven and let them rest.

Decorate with yellow passion fruit before serving.
