Doces de Valsa

Doces de Valsa are traditional Portuguese confections that combine a tender, biscuit-like base with a rich, creamy filling, often flavored with rosewater or other subtle aromatic essences. The name translates to "Waltz Sweets," reflecting their delicate, elegant texture and flavor. Typically, they are small, individually-sized treats, sometimes topped with a dusting of powdered sugar or a decorative element. Valued for their refinement and balanced sweetness, Doces de Valsa are enjoyed as a refined dessert or accompaniment to coffee, embodying Portugal's rich culinary heritage and artisanal confectionery tradition.
