Bimby Custard Tart Recipe

The Bimby pastel de nata recipe is intended for those who own a kitchen robot and prefer to use it instead of the traditional method. In our humble opinion, everything tastes better when made by hand. However, the main advantage here is time, as preparation becomes slightly faster.

Although we are strong supporters of traditional cuisine, the Bimby pastel de nata recipe delivers excellent results. If you have one of these machines at home, try it and compare the outcome.

This recipe is designed for 12 tarts and takes approximately 45 minutes to prepare. In the end, don’t tell anyone you made the pastries in the Bimby and see if anyone notices.

Before starting, turn on the oven at 240º.

1. In the Thermomix bowl, add 50 grams of flour, 190 grams of sugar, cream, and milk. Add the egg yolks.
2. Set the Thermomix to speed 4 for 10 seconds.
3. Insert the butterfly whisk and add the cinnamon stick and lemon peel.
4. Set the machine to speed 1.5 at 90 °C for 18 minutes.
5. Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough.
6. Shape the dough into a roll or cylinder, pressing it lightly.
7. Once the desired shape is achieved, cut it into small pieces approximately 1.5 to 2 centimeters wide, depending on whether you prefer a thicker or thinner crust.
8. Grease the molds with butter, place a piece of dough in each one, and gently press it with your fingers, pushing the excess toward the top so the rim becomes slightly thicker.
9. When the program finishes, remove the cinnamon stick and lemon peel and pour the mixture into the molds.
10. Finally, place the molds in the oven for about 15 minutes. Allow the tarts to brown, but remove them before the filling bubbles excessively to prevent shrinking while cooling.

Suggestions:

If you have children at home, make sure the pasteis de nata are not excessively hot, so that no one gets burned.

If you like cinnamon, sprinkle some of it on your custard tart and wash it down with a good coffee.
