Indulge Your Taste Buds With Desserts From Spain & Mexico
Summertime desserts often correspond to the heat and humidity outside. Warm, humid climates like you see in Spain and Mexico tend to eat later on in the day after the sun has faded and the humidity has died down, so they tend to eat rather light. This of course means their desserts tend to be on the lighter side as well.
Mexican Desserts – Typical desserts that you will find in a traditional Mexican meal include Flan, which is one of the richest and creamiest custard desserts that you will ever taste. Reminscent of crème brulee in many ways, flan is an orange flavored custard that is then topped with a topping that is golden colored and is carmelized for that little bit of thickness and crunch. The Flan recipes in most Mexican kitchens are well guarded family secrets which are passed from generation to generation.
With Spanish desserts you can expect to taste more spices in rather light recipes. They also tend to incorporate a lot of fruit flavors. Let’s take a look at one of the most common Spanish desserts enjoyed in Spanish and around the world today:
Ice cream placed into a deep fried pastry bowl then covered with spicy pear sauce and a nice dose of cinnamon. Truly delicious and truly genuine to the Spanish palette.
Profiteroles is another well known Spanish dessert that is loved all over the world.
To make these delicious Spanish desserts you make dough from eggs, flour, and butter and then fill them with ice cream or rich custard made with heavy cream. They are then covered in chocolate and served. Beloved all over the world, this is clearly one of the most well known desserts from the Spanish culture.
Even in the United States people find lighter summertime desserts to be preferable. When you study the Southeastern states where the climate is more humid and scorching hot you will find the favored desserts to be very light on the stomach. For instance, they often enjoy eating sponge or angel’s food cake topped with a light sauce or perhaps whipped cream. These cakes are often filled with fruits like strawberries, blueberries or kiwi and typically have decorative indentations on top. These lighter summertime desserts are very common in climates where the heat and humidity make heavier desserts seem unappealing. This is true all around the world from Mexico and Spain to the United States.
Heat precludes wanting a great deal of heaviness from either a meal or a dessert so you will find that many of the desserts in these areas tend to be far less filling and as a general rule will have far less calories than the desserts that you find elsewhere it the world.
