The Tortinha de Nozes offers a rich and complex flavor profile, balancing nutty sweetness with creamy indulgence and a light, airy meringue finish.
The base is a delicate walnut shortbread, providing a nutty, slightly earthy foundation. The doce de leite filling, enriched with more walnuts, contributes a deep caramel sweetness and creamy texture. The egg cream layer adds richness and a custardy element, while the meringue offers a light, sweet, and airy counterpoint, with the browned peaks providing a subtle toasted flavor.
Premium Feature
Walnut Quality
Use high-quality, fresh walnuts for the best flavor and texture. Toasting the walnuts lightly before using them enhances their nutty aroma.
Doce de Leite Consistency
The consistency of the doce de leite is crucial. It should be thick and spreadable, but not too runny. If using store-bought doce de leite, adjust the consistency if needed.
Meringue Stability
Ensure the meringue is stable by using a clean, grease-free bowl and beating the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Italian meringue is more stable than French meringue and browns beautifully, consider using that.
Golden Brown Meringue
Use a kitchen torch or a broiler to achieve a beautiful golden-brown color on the meringue, being careful not to burn it.
