Queijadas

Delicious and authentic Portuguese recipe. Made as directed and it was a big hit. Served with homemade jam.

Great recipe! I topped a few with blueberries before baking and don’t think I’ll do that again. Instead, I will serve with sliced strawberries. I baked them a little longer than the recommended time until the edges looked a little more crispy and brown. It was not a problem getting them out of the greased muffin tins.

Love these. Have been making them for years. My version includes 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, 1/2 cup flaked coconut ( more or less, depending on taste) & 1 tablespoon lemon zest. Toothpick test for doneness works with this. For those who don’t like coconut, omit and go with fresh fruit on top after baking.

My family loved it & the whole dish was gone in 48hrs! This was super easy & you can add more or less or even extra ingredients to it if you want to & make sweeter or less sweet.

These are so delicate and delicious. The texture on the outside is flaky and just melts in your mouth. The inside is creamy and sweet. I put whipped cream and frozen blueberries on mine. It added a nice sweetness. I also reduced the amount of sugar in the recipe to a cup and 1/2. I’d never made anything like this before, so when I saw how thin the batter was I got nervous. But it baked beautifully! It took over an hour to bake these, but the outcome was well worth waiting for. 🙂

Super legit!

If you don’t have a nonstick muffin pan, place muffin cups inside and it’s like buying them in a bakery. My Vãvo made these all the time, she’d be happy to know I’m making them myself.

Exactly as per recipe. They turned out excellent. I remember my Titia making these and now that they are all getting older, I decided to take on some Portuguese recipes. I will definitely make again.

Love these! Really perfect. Scotty brought them to a bbq and I am totally addicted now.

These were seriously good and seriously easy to make. I needed them to be gluten free, so I just used Namaste gluten free flour instead of regular flour. They reminded us of German pancakes. I made some mini ones and regular sized ones. The mini ones took about 10 or 15 minutes less to bake. My husband actually lived in Portugal for two years. I was trying to surprise him with a dessert from there and chose this one since it was easy. He had never heard of them, but he still liked them and appreciated the thought. 🙂 My little kids all loved them, too.

I followed the recipe as written and was very pleased with the result. Granted, I have not had them before so don’t know how authentic they are, but they were crisp on the outside, creamy inside, sweet and delicious. I dropped fresh raspberries in the little indentations and dusted with powdered sugar. I sprayed the cupcake pans liberally with Pam, let them cool for about 10 minutes or so and they popped right out. Thanks for the post.

Great recipe! I added the zest of one orange (you can also do lemon zest) as it is a very traditional flavor for queijadas. They came out great! Obrigada Scotty!

I used the foil type baking cups and they came out great with no clean up! Also cut down some sugar but was still more than sweet enough. Such an easy, quick, delicious recipe, tastes good hot or cold. Thank you so much for sharing!

They are delicious. I would post some pictures but it wouldn’t let me. Be sure to grease the muffin liners well though or else they stick to the liners.

Delicious and easy to make. For all 1st timers, the middle looks uncooked, that’s how it’s supposed to look. I used the almond extract..YUMMY

The Queijadas recipe was authentic and tasted delicious. I always use pure vanilla extract in my recipe.

The taste & texture are very close to the Original things! Soft and custard-like in the center and a solid pastry-like on the outside. My husband is Portuguese and he was VERY impressed by them. Will make again because they are so good and EASY to make! I did spray my pan with Bakers Joy prior to cooking just in case. Kept recipe as is…Wonderful!

These were really yummy and easy, but maybe just a little too sweet. I used lemon extract and they had a great flavor. They were custardy in the middle, and a little chewy on the outside. I sprayed the cupcake tin with Pam beforehand, and they all came out easily except for one.

This is fantastic. Has anyone else had a difficult time getting the little cakes out of the muffin tin? Any suggestions as to how to get them out more easily? I sprayed the muffin pan before adding the batter, but still had to cut around each one. Is this normal? These are so good. I’ll make them again even if I have to spend the extra time to coax them out of the tins.

Easy to make with great results. I made it with the portions brought down for 6 and it worked out great! Thank you!

Made 1/3 of the batch (6 servings) and wish I’d made more since they were pretty easy and I’d already dirtied the blender and they were pretty tasty. I had the Splenda baking sugar so I used that (50% of the recommended amt of normal sugar). I thought these were pretty sweet but I don’t know if it’s cause I subbed in Splenda sugar or because it called for too much sugar for my tastes?
