This vegan #pasteldenata looks absolutely stunning! The crust was wonderfully crisp and #flaky, with that classic caramelized edge that’s so essential in a good #pastel de nata. The layers of #pastry are visible, giving off that perfect balance between #buttery crispness and #delicate texture — impressive for a vegan version #sweettooth
The filling was #smooth and #creamy, with a #custard-like consistency. The topping is where this pastel de nata truly stands out: the piped vegan #cream was light and velvety, while the red #currants add a bright, #tart freshness that cut through the richness. The chopped #pistachios bring a nutty crunch, rounding out the textures and flavors.
Taste-wise, the pastry was crisp and delicate, while the filling was smooth, sweet, and subtly spiced, with a hint of #vanilla. For a vegan take on such a #traditional pastry, this nailed the balance between classic and creative.
