Portuguese sweets, 'Doces,' have a rich history influenced by Moorish culinary traditions, convent sweets developed by nuns utilizing surplus egg yolks, and the introduction of ingredients like sugar from overseas colonies. The Moorish influence brought almonds, figs, and honey, while the convents perfected recipes utilizing readily available ingredients to create elaborate and decadent desserts.
