According to TasteAtlas, Portugal’s popular Pastel de Nata also known as "Pastel de Belém" was voted the world's best dessert in 2024, recognized for its unique creamy custard filling encased in flaky puff pastry, and its origins from the Belém district of Lisbon. Made from a secret recipe, only the original bakery "Pastéis de Belém" can produce the authentic version due to the protected secret. It is believed the Pastel the Nata was created many centuries ago by monks at the Jerónimos Monastery in Belém, Lisbon. The crisp pastry shell is filled with an egg cream custard often served warm with cinnamon. Each year, Taste Atlas ranks the 100 best desserts in the world.
