A popular Puerto Rican treat, quesitos (kay-SEE-toes) is a delightful indulgence with a cup of tea or coffee for breakfast, brunch or any time of the day, really. So easy to make, you can whip this in no time for unexpected company or to satisfy an urgent craving. The combination of crunchy, flaky puff pastry…
I devoured a version of this dessert, a take on the popular combination of soft Mexican Manchego cheese with slices of guava or another fruit paste, at the charming and sunny coffee shop in the Sweets Museum in the city of Morelia, in Michoacán, in western Mexico. I was so mesmerized by it I came…
They say everything is better with bacon. After sampling this rich kosher dessert, I’m sure you’ll agree. The sweet chocolate cream and heat of the chipotle peppers conjure the flavors of Mexican hot chocolate. Add the candied kosher bacon and your taste buds will be dancing the Cucaracha!
With just four ingredients, these bonbons are simple to put together and make a decadent addition to a dessert spread. Brazilians put their brigadeiros in little cupcake wrappers, but they are virtually impossible to find here, so you can leave them on a platter.
