Portuguese custard sits in a thin, layered pastry shell, baked until the top picks up a few caramelised spots. Filling is smooth and lightly sweet, with enough structure to slice cleanly instead of running. Compared with other desserts in Nando's lineup, this one leans more traditional and less layered in flavour, built around egg custard, wheat flour, butter, milk, sugar, and cinnamon. It's served as a single tart, usually warmed through before it reaches you. Pastry is the real highlight, with visible layers that shatter when you bite through them and a buttery richness that holds up against the soft custard inside. Cinnamon shows up as a subtle warmth rather than a dominant spice, keeping the overall flavour clean and classic.
