Mexican Desserts (Food)

[Bullaholic]

Tell me about your favorite Mexican desserts. Do you make your own flan? What is the best flan or other Mexican dessert you ever ate? Would sopapillas be considered a dessert?

Pan de Polvo.

There is bakery here in Weslaco that makes the best Pan de Polvo. I sent some to my family this past Christmas and they went nuts for it.

This Mexican doesn't like flan. It just looks gross.

Not much of a honey eater so sopapillas, not so much!

My mom used to make dulce de leche with butterscotch chips. mmmmmmmm

Have you tried the Blue Bell Tres Leches? I haven't and have been wondering if it's any good. Speaking of Tres Leches - I make my Banana Pudding with Eagle Brand Milk - it's rich and creamy like Tres Leches ;)

Capirotada (pronounced: Cah-pi-ro-ta-da) is a common Mexican bread pudding that is traditionally eaten during Lent. It is generally composed of toasted french bread soaked in mulled syrup, cheese (often with other dairy as well, such as butter or milk), raisins, and peanuts. The syrup is generally made with water, piloncillo (Mexican brown sugar), cinnamon, nutmeg, coriander, star anise (or aniseed), cloves, and peppercorns.

It is wheat bread to which raw sugar, cinnamon, cheese, butter, pecans, peanuts and raisins are added. These are identical ingredients to those used during the 1640s in New Spain to make breads and cakes. The ingredients and recipes have been recorded by the Holy Office of the Inquisition and saved to this day in the archives.

The basic ingredients carry a rich symbolism to the Passion of Christ, and the dish is viewed by many Mexican and Mexican-American families as a reminder of the suffering of Christ on Good Friday. The bread is for the Body of Christ, the syrup is his blood, the cloves are the nails of the cross, and the whole cinnamon sticks are the wood of the cross. The melted cheese stands for the Holy Shroud.

You just brought back so many memories for me. My Mom used to make this all the time. I really loved this!!! Now that she's been gone for some years now, I can't find ANYONE who knows how to make it or willing to make it. But I don't think anyone will EVER come close to my Mom's!! Thanks for the memories!!


:D :D :D :D
