What is a traditional mexican dessert?

Posted by: admin  /  Category: Mexican Desserts



Flan….custard with a caramel coating.
Capirotada …bread layered with peanuts, coconut, bananas, raisins, and condensed milk.
alfajor de coco (really a candy). I love it.
rice pudding
pastel de tres leches (verrrry popular) yellow cake infused with evaporated and condensed milk, and topped with whipped cream. Many flavors.
Churros con cajeta o chocolate. Kind of like a fried cruller sometimes with a filling.
Paletas (ice cream or fruit bars)
Pastel de pacanas..pecan cake.

    Flan

    Flan is a traditional Mexican dessert and there are many versions. This one is prized for it's simplicity. If you've never made flan before, now is the time to try it.
    INGREDIENTS:
    1 cup and 1/2 cup sugar
    6 large eggs
    1 14oz can sweetened condensed milk
    2 13 oz cans evaporated milk
    1 teaspoon vanilla
    PREPARATION:
    Preheat oven to 325 degrees. You will need 6 ramekins or other specialty flan cook ware and a large baking pan to put them in.
    Pour 1 cup sugar in warm pan over medium heat. Constantly stir sugar until is browns and becomes caramel. Quickly pour approximately 2-3 tablespoons of caramel in each ramekin, tilting it to swirl the caramel around the sides. Reheat caramel if it starts to harden.

    In a mixer or with a whisk, blend the eggs together. Mix in the milks then slowly mix in the 1/2 cup of sugar, then the vanilla. Blend smooth after each ingredient is added.

    Pour custard into caramel lined ramekins. Place ramekins in a large glass or ceramic baking dish and fill with about 1-2 inches of hot water. Bake for 45 minutes in the water bath and check with a knife just to the side of the center. If knife comes out clean, it's ready.

    Remove and let cool. Let each ramekin cool in refrigerator for 1 hour. Invert each ramekin onto a small plate, the caramel sauce will flow over the custard.

    this is kind of silly… but after our meals at one specific mexican restaurant, they would come out with a little plate with one warm (unsalted) corn chip with a dollop of whipped cream and a drizzle of chocolate syrup and a drizzle of honey over top of it all. it was fun to try to eat without getting all sticky!

    capirotada (bread pudding )
    a little different, cause this has nuts and is sweetened with a hard cone shaped brown sugar and mollases mix called piloncillo ,and what really makes it unique is it has either a white chedder or queso fresco (any cheese of your choice actually ) tastes great and very satisfying dessert !!
