What Spanish dessert recipes would you reccommend for a high school spanish class?

Here’s an easy recipe for flan .

@janbb Thanks, but someone already made flan.

but flan is so good! How about rice pudding? (Arroz con leche) if your class doesnt like it you can certainly send it to me :)

How about churros or Tres Leches Cake

Apple tart (Tarta de manzana)

This simple Spanish pastry makes a great dessert, but can also be served to accompany an afternoon cup of coffee or tea.

Spanish recipes

Basic ingredients

* 300g apples (10½ oz.)
* Ready made puff pastry

* 50g apricot jam

Steps:

1. Roll out the pastry and place in a greased pie dish (approx 20cms across) prick with a fork

2. Peel and thinly slice the apples

3. Cover the pastry with the apple slices and place in a preheated oven (180 degrees) for approx 30 mins

4. Remove from the oven and spread the apricot jam over the apple – set aside to cool before serving

Tips and ideas

* For best results, if you live in Spain, use the variety of apples called “reineta”. Otherwise use golden delicious. Don’t use cooking apples.
* Serve with fresh cream or vanilla ice cream

Tres Leches is a good suggesstion.

Churros are popular in Mexico, and some other countries. You can buy a mix (usually a kit complete with a plastic pastry bag and tip for making the right shape) if you have a store near you with a lot of ethnic food. It is kind of a cross between a donut and a funnel cake. Basically fried dough and you roll them in regular sugar.

@YoBob I just saw you suggested churros also. Was that always there? Or, did I read right past it the first time? I can’t Fluther before breakfast.

@Jleslie Yep, it was my first suggestion. Great minds… Quick, easy, and oh so delicious. It’s hard to go wrong with fried dough and sugar!

@YoBob I have a box I was just looking at in my cupboard. But, I am trying to lose weight for a party next month. LOL.

Do you have to cook from scratch? If not you could buy Cajeta and cookies for something really simple. Basically caramel, which you can buy in a squeeze bottle, and some people make a cookie sandwich with the Cajeta between two sugar type cookies. I think you can buy them already prepared that way? But, my husband squeezes out the caramel himself. I can get the brand names if it interests you. The Cajeta is traditionally made with goats milk, but maybe it is made with cows milk sometimes also.

You can put it over or in ice cream too. I think that is what is used in dulce de leche ice cream and cheese cake.

Cajeta is Mexican also. When you say Spanish dessert, do you mean literally Spanish? From Spain? Or, any country that speaks Spanish?

Hey, how about ice cream with Dolce de Leche? It’s super easy to make and oh so delicious!

Jinx!

I grew up for some years in New Mexico, Santa Fe and Albuquerque.

Sopapillas are to die for. Puffy pastry pockets served with butter and honey.
