'''Natillas''' is a traditional [[Spanish cuisine|Spanish]] dessert, typically made from milk, sugar, vanilla, and eggs. The dish is similar to other European desserts such as [[Custard|custard]] and [[Crème anglaise]], but has a distinct flavor and texture that sets it apart.

== History ==

The origins of Natillas can be traced back to the [[Middle Ages]], when it was commonly prepared in monasteries. The dessert was traditionally served during the [[Lent]] season, as it was a simple and economical dish that could be made with readily available ingredients.

== Preparation ==

To prepare Natillas, milk is first heated with sugar and a vanilla pod to infuse the flavor. In a separate bowl, egg yolks are beaten until they become creamy. The hot milk is then gradually added to the egg yolks, stirring constantly to prevent the eggs from curdling. The mixture is returned to the heat and cooked gently until it thickens. The finished Natillas is usually served chilled, often with a sprinkle of cinnamon on top.

== Variations ==

There are many regional variations of Natillas throughout Spain. In some areas, the dessert is thickened with cornstarch instead of egg yolks, resulting in a lighter texture. Other variations may include the addition of ingredients such as lemon zest, almond extract, or even chocolate.

In [[Latin America]], Natillas is also a popular dessert, with each country having its own unique version. For example, in [[Colombia]], Natillas is a rich, custard-like dessert made with panela (unrefined whole cane sugar) and often served with [[Bunuelos (Colombian)|bunuelos]] during Christmas.

== Cultural Significance ==

Natillas is a beloved dessert in Spain and is often served at family gatherings and festive occasions. It is also a staple on the menu of many Spanish restaurants, both in Spain and abroad.
