Bola de Berlim | Traditional Sweet Pastry From Portugal, Western Europe | TasteAtlas

Bola de Berlim

(Sonhos de padaria, Berlin Balls)

Bolas de Berlim are Portuguese donuts that are sliced in half, then filled with sweet and creamy egg-based custard. Fluffy on the exterior and thick and creamy on the interior, these donuts are typically rolled in granulated sugar before being filled with the custard.


On the Portuguese coast, vendors sell these tasty balls on numerous beaches, and locals love to consume them while sunbathing. Although bolas de Berlim are typically filled with custard, they can also be ordered sem creme, meaning without the creamy filling.
