My son had to make a Portuguese dish for school and, of course, he didn't tell me until the last minute. We found this recipe with ingredients we already had and they turned out great. Used less sugar as other reviewers suggested and sprinkled coconut on before baking. That was last night and I just made them again for breakfast. Kids loved them.

This was amazing! They had a sort of chewy crispy crust that tasted a little like carmelized sugar and a custard center. Yum! Be sure to grease the pan well. :)

When I took them out of the oven they were golden brown, however the sides and bottom were not cooked. I didn't want to burn them so I went ahead and took them out, they were okay, but it was a disappointment that they didn't turn out like the pictures. Also, I had lots of batter left over...

These are so good! I used almond milk and reduced sugar by half a cup. The only problem I had was that It was very difficult to get them out of the muffin tin in one piece as they were very delicate and stuck to the bottom. I served them with vanilla frozen yogurt and a sauce of frozen fruit I heated on the stove sweetened with overripe frozen bananas from my freezer. Displayed well and went over great! Would be a 5 star except for the sticking. Thanks!

I found this recipe by pure fluke and put it aside, making a mental note to make these for a friend's birthday. He grew up eating these and gets them very rarely now that no one in his family remembers how to make them. I brought them to his birthday party and he and his family were thrilled! His sister insisted I send her the recipe and his dad was so happy and said they tasted just like the ones he ate while growing up in Portugal. Thank-you for such a wonderful, authentic recipe!

these were wonderful but got four stars because they were a little too sweet for my taste. I would say unless you're eating them with tart fruit decrease sugar to 1 1/4. And I read in here someone said they don't keep to well overnight. This is true. They got pretty rubbery. Next time I think I will make a half batch so there won't be leftovers. very creamy though :)

My rating scale (cause number of stars is subjective): 1-Didn't like it, 2-It's okay, 3-Liked it, 4-Loved it, 5-Can't get enough of it. My two year old LOVES these... they were extremely easy to make and very tasty. I used 1 1/2 cups sugar after reading the reviews and will likely use only 1 cup the next time I make them (but there will be a next time). Went very well with frozen blueberries on top. For the few who said these were too plain to present I disagree. I used a square muffin tin, and served on a small (4" X 4")... with some whipped cream and berry spilling over this dish is beautiful!

I made these last year for Christmas dinner for my Portugase Family and they absolutely loved them so much! They were so amazed they have asked me will I make them again this year. During Thanksgiving, they were hoping and were disappointed when I hit the door without them. they are so sweet and smooth and the most amazing desert I have ever tasted. With different flavors they are also amazing. With fruit on top, with any kind of topping, they are amazing! And really easy to make. You wont be sorry! Even if you over cook a batch, they are amazing!
