Churros
This is one of the most commonly known Mexican dishes out there. This is a fried dessert that originated from the Chinese and Portuguese. Not only was it adopted by Latin America as a beloved dessert, but it can also be a mid-day snack as well. It is batter that is deep fried and then coated generously with cinnamon and sugar or powdered sugar. Sometimes, it can also be served with a side of chocolate sauce to make it truly decadent.
Mexican Chocolate with Chipotle
Chocolate is one ingredient that is used quite often in Mexican food. The unique thing about Mexican chocolate is that it usually has some spice mixed in there as well. Many people don’t know this, but pepper can bring out the delicious richness of the chocolate. Chocolate can be used to create shakes, doughnuts and tarts.
Fried Ice Cream
Ice cream that is deep fried in a delicious, crispy shell is one of the most delicious Mexican desserts out there. The crispy coating is usually made up of corn flakes or cookie crumbs. The ball of friend ice cream is often coupled with caramel or chocolate drizzle that is topped with whipped cream.
Avocado Popsicles
With avocados gaining in popularity in recent years, many people would likely love having a delicious avocado popsicle at the end of their meal. This is usually made into a granita or a semi-frozen dessert that is almost like a slushy. Avocado popsicles are usually made with the juice of a lime to bring out the delicious flavor and compliment the avocado. While they aren’t often found in Mexican restaurants, they can easily be made at home on a warm summer day.
Flan
Another common Mexican dessert that many people love is flan. This dessert is found at many Mexican restaurants. This dessert can be similar to a cheesecake or crème brulee but has a little different ingredient list found in it. It is usually covered in a thick caramel sauce that is the the cherry on top.
