About Tarta de la abuela
Tarta De La Abuela, or "Grandma's Cake," is a beloved Spanish dessert that layers simple, rich ingredients into a comforting, nostalgic treat. Typically made with alternating layers of plain biscuits (often María cookies), rich chocolate custard, and vanilla-flavored custard or pastry cream, it is topped with a dusting of cocoa powder or grated chocolate. While its creamy, indulgent texture makes it a crowd-pleaser, it's a calorie-dense dessert due to its high sugar and fat content. Originating as a homemade, no-bake recipe, it reflects the ingenuity of Spanish home cooking, often passed down through generations. While it's not the most nutrient-rich choice, its small portions can be enjoyed occasionally as a decadent treat. For a healthier version, some recipes substitute part of the cream with yogurt or use dark chocolate for a boost of antioxidants. Tarta De La Abuela pairs perfectly with a cup of coffee or tea for a truly delightful experience.
