Toucinho do Céu

'bacon from heaven') is a Portuguese dessert made primarily of almonds, eggs, and sugar.

[3] [a][b][c] Toucinho do céu is named after its appearance, which closely resembles bacon.

[9] The nuns of the Convento de Santa Mónica are credited with creating this pudding in the 1500s.

This mixture is slightly cooled before adding butter (historically lard).

This batter is then poured into a greased and floured pan and baked until slightly firm.
