Imagine a mix of egg yolks, sugar, and a hint of chocolate, all wrapped up in delicate rice paper or wheat flour - just like communion wafers. The result? A timeless treat loved by many for centuries.
Let's go back in time to when clever nuns in the Dominican Franciscan and Carmelite convents rocked their creative cooking skills. These nuns used egg whites every day, like sticking clothes together. With lots of egg yolks left, they had to get creative to not waste them. So, they mixed the yolks with sugar, creating a yummy paste we now call Ovos Moles.
The nuns' connection to the lagoon and sea-inspired the shapes of Ovos Moles. They skillfully crafted thin layers into shells, fish, or clams, filling them with a rich, golden dough. As the convents closed, the legacy lived on and this delightful treat went beyond the convent walls, enchanting taste enthusiasts worldwide.
