I have a mexican dinner party planned, but the only thing missing is a dessert!!
Please could someone suggest something, and provide recipes if applicable.
No special diets to cater for, although one of the guests is pregnant so I would prefer the desserts to be alcohol free…
Many thanx in advance for your help.
oh wow Branalista…. That sounds AWESOME!! Will be doing that I think!!
Thanx!!
EASY and SO GOOD!
1) Flour tortillas

3 Leches Pastel — 3 Milks Cake
1. Bake a cake as instructed on cake box. Remove from oven and cool for 1.5 hours on wire rack in the pan.
After the cake is cooled, poke holes all over the top of the cake with a fork. The more holes the better.
2. Whisk together:
1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 cup of regular milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
Spoon milk syrup mixture over the top of the cake, stopping to allow syrup to soak in each time. Continue until all syrup has been used. It seems like too much, but it's not.
Cover cake with plastic wrap and CHILL for at least 2 hours.
Top with whipped topping and/or diced fruit before serving

Sopapilla Cheesecake
INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon Mexican vanilla extract
2 (8 ounce) cans refrigerated crescent rolls
3/4 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup butter, room temperature
1/4 cup honey
DIRECTIONS
Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Prepare a 9×13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Beat the cream cheese with 1 cup of sugar and the vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth.
Unroll the cans of crescent roll dough, and use a rolling pin to shape each piece into 9×13 inch rectangles. Press one piece into the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish. Evenly spread the cream cheese mixture into the baking dish, then cover with the remaining piece of crescent dough. Stir together 3/4 cup of sugar, cinnamon, and butter. Dot the mixture over the top of the cheesecake.
Bake in the preheated oven until the crescent dough has puffed and turned golden brown, about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and drizzle with honey. Cool completely in the pan before cutting into 12 squares.
