Portuguese Egg Tarts

 Tested this recipe for an evening tea…. I was looking for a recipe which does not use heavy cream because I didn’t have that in hand and found this one. The verdict…. sweet filling and nicely matched with the flaky pastry…. In comparison, cream-based filling is creamier and smoother in texture. Overall it is not bad at all but the filling gives you slightly different texture which is light & spongy.
