When my heart is longing for Portugal, I make these lovely Belém tarts. Pastel de Belém ‘pastel de nata’, literally means ‘pastry that contains cream in Portuguese.
Contrary to the name Salami, this Chocolate Salami does not contain meat, has no eggs, and no liqueur. I opted for strong brewed coffee, to make it kid-friendly.
There are various names for this treat, i.e. Thimble Cookies, Bird’s Nest Cookie, Coconut Nests, Thumbprint Cookies, Coconut Thumbprint Cookies, Birds Nest cookies, to name but a few.
