Enhance your festivities with these desserts and treats. Biscochitos Thank so much to Ann Clark, Ltd. for sharing this special sugar cookie recipe. "Biscochitos are traditionally cut in a diamond shape (for weddings) or a Fleur De Lis shape, but the cactus and chili pepper shapes are fun for Cinco de Mayo." Note: I'll be writing more about Ann Clark's cookie cutters in a couple of weeks. Tres Leche Cake Tres Leches Cake, a Mexican favorite, is made with a mixture of 3 milks: heavy cream, evaporated and sweetened condensed milk. Thanks to Tiburcio for posting her recipe in the forum. Churros Thanks to CarmenRom1 for posting this recipe for Mexican fried dough. Sopaipillas For the longest time, I thought that Sopaipillas were the only dessert served in a Mexican restaurant. The honey is my favorite part of this dessert.
