This was a hit for us with taste and ease of preparation. I used mini-muffin tins to have smaller bites for a large crowd and added sliced strawberries on top after baking. A great first Portuguese recipe for an American living in Portugal!

I looked at the picture and it looks great. The first bite was great as well....until I tasted all that egg. I'm sorry but this recipe and I don't get along. No beginner's luck here.

This is a great recipe. My mother made these all the time, she adds the zest of a lemon and no vanilla. Either way they are very nice, just a great memory from childhood. We would have them with a sprinkle of cinnamon or powdered sugar.

The insides were still a bit gel-like, but I think they were supposed to be like that, like custard?? The batter was quite runny. I guess if thats how its supposed to turn out, then they were pretty good. I did cut the sugar down to only 1.5 cups, was just about the right sweetness. And I used almond extract.

My goodness these are extremely addictive. Honestly, one cup of sugar is all you need. Also..I greased the muffin pans with butter then sprayed with a non-stick cooking spray. Absolutely no problems with them sticking. They came out perfectly. I was a little freaked out when I first took them out of the oven because they were a litle jiggly....but no worries at all. It made 18 perfect shells... I just gave a 6 to my neighbor who let me borrow two muffin tins and between me and my daughter we have only 3 left. So easy to make. My daughter wants this to be part of a Sunday morning breakfast ritual. Yum Yum Yum!

Super easy recipe and I love that I don't have to make a crust for the queijada...so does my mom!! I half the sugar though because I like to sprinkle mine with powdered sugar later with my coffee. I also double the vanilla and add lemon zest...mom does this to everything!!!

These were lovely. They didn't stick at all. I made 1/2 as written, and the remaining 1/2 with coconut and coconut essence. The standard one's were a lot better. The texture is remarkable. They were a little sweet, but not sickly, so next time will cut down the sugar. Oh, and there will be a next time! Many thanks to submitter.

I've tried several queijada recipes and this one is pretty good. My family likes coconut. I substituted the vanilla for coconut extract. I had a tough time getting them out of the cupcake pans so next time I'll spray them really good. I put a dab of marshmallow creme in the center then topped with a lot of toasted coconut. They were scrumptious! Older Portuguese ladies even loved them. Oh, one thing. I did strain the mixture before I poured them into the pan. Good luck.

I absolutely LOVED these! We had company over for dinner on the weekend and when I was browsing on allrecipes the week before to decide on a dessert, I came across these. I just had to try them as we were having friends over and the husband is Portugese! Needless to say they both thought they were incredible and pretty authentic too! I also gave a couple to the daycare that my boys go to as the owner is also Portugese - another hit according to her! So, I will definitely make these again, I did opt to reduce the sugar after reading a couple of other reviews, used 1 1/2 cups. Everything else remained, just didn't find they needed the full baking time and I did spray my tins very well and they came out nicely. Awesome, thanks so much!!

I love these little things! They're super-easy and use ingredients I always have. When they're hot, the center is almost liquid and they taste like cream puffs. Once they cool down, they taste more like custard. Either way, I think they're delicious. Definitely grease the muffin pan well (they'll stick otherwise), and they're not flashy enough for a fancy dessert, but as an everyday dessert, they're awesome.
