Figo c/ Amêndoa Gelado (Fig and Almond Ice Cream)

For example, the Algarve is an agricultural region known for delicious juicy figs and bountiful crops of almonds. So a fig and almond ice cream is spot on!

Dom Rodrigo Ice Cream (Egg Yarn and Almonds)

Dom Rodrigo is a traditional dessert from the Algarvian town of Lagos. It’s made with “egg yarn”which sounds so weird, but it’s egg yolks and sugar so think sweet and rich with the texture of thin coconut shreds.

In addition to these ice cream flavors you can find Pastel de Nata (famous custard tart of Portugal), and Perna de Pau. (Meaning wooden leg in Portuguese).

Perna de Pau is an ice cream on a stick you can buy in grocery stores across Portugal featuring a pirate on the package with, you guessed it, a wooden leg. It’s vanilla ice cream with stripes of strawberry ‘jelly’ and the outside is dipped in chocolate.
