Before you say adios to Cinco de Mayo, try one of our marvelous Mexican-inspired desserts, including flan, churros, tres leches cake, and so much more.
They may be baked instead of fried and call for store-bought puff pastry instead of homemade batter, but take it from us, these churros are just as delicioso. Serve with our ancho chili- and cinnamon-laced chocolate sauce.
A roll in turbinado sugar before baking adds extra crunch to these melt-in-your-mouth cookies inspired by the flavors of Mexican hot chocolate. They get their addictive kick from cayenne pepper and cinnamon.
Honey gives this rich eggy dessert a subtle sweetness. Finish with wedges of kiwi and segments of your favorite citrus -- we used clementines, tangerines, and pink grapefruit. Or try our Maple Flan if you're more of a syrup person.
The temperature finally starts to rise around Cinco de Mayo, which means it's time for a frozen dessert! Transform the cinnamon-flavored rice milk beverage known as horchata into popsicles for a refreshing sweet ending.
These festive cupcakes have all the flavors -- and the tequila and triple sec -- found in a margarita, with the addition of a rich cream cheese frosting.
Who says it's too early for pumpkin??! That's what the canned variety is for. Not only does it work beautifully in this pumpkin pie-Mexican custard hybrid, but it also gives the dessert a beautiful burnt orange hue.
Yes, we know biscotti are Italian, but the combination of cocoa powder, bittersweet chocolate, cayenne, and cinnamon are making a strong case for fusion.
