A classic from Peru’s rich dessert tradition, these alfajores feature two delicate, crumbly cookies made with cornstarch, Flour and butter, filled with smooth, house-made dulce de leche (manjar blanco). Lightly dusted with powdered sugar, each bite melts in your mouth, delivering a perfect balance of sweetness and texture.

Crema Volteada

A silky-smooth Peruvian classic, Crema Volteada is a rich, creamy caramel flan made with fresh eggs, whole milk, and a touch of vanilla. Baked to perfection and topped with a golden layer of homemade caramel, it offers a melt-in-your-mouth texture and a delicate balance of sweetness. This elegant dessert is a staple at Peruvian gatherings—simple, timeless, and irresistibly smooth in every spoonful. 

Tres Leche Cake

A beloved dessert across Latin America, Peru’s take on Tres Leches Cake is decadently moist and delicious. This light, airy sponge cake is soaked in a rich blend of three milks—evaporated milk, condensed milk, and heavy cream—creating a luscious, melt-in-your-mouth texture. Topped with a smooth layer of whipped cream and a touch of cinnamon or fresh fruit, it’s the perfect balance of sweetness and creaminess. 

Leche Asada

A traditional Peruvian favorite, Leche Asada is a rustic, oven-baked custard with a golden, caramelized top and a rich, creamy interior. Made from simple, wholesome ingredients—fresh milk, eggs, sugar, and vanilla—this dessert offers a smooth texture with a hint of toasted flavor. Unlike flan, it’s firmer and slightly more rustic, giving it a homemade charm that evokes comfort and nostalgia in every bite. 

Beso De Moza

A delightful Peruvian confection, Beso de Moza—which translates to “maiden’s kiss”—combines a light, fluffy marshmallow center with a crisp cookie base, all enrobed in a smooth layer of rich chocolate. Each bite delivers a perfect contrast of textures: creamy, crunchy, and velvety. Sweet, playful, and irresistibly nostalgic, this treat is a favorite across generations and ideal for gifting, snacking, or adding a touch of sweetness to any occasion. 

Picarones 

A beloved street food and festive dessert from Peru, Picarones are light, crispy doughnut rings made from a unique blend of sweet potato and squash. Deep-fried to golden perfection, they’re served drizzled with chancaca syrup—a warm, spiced molasses sauce made with raw cane sugar, cinnamon, and cloves. With their crispy exterior and soft, airy center, picarones offer a deliciously sweet and aromatic bite rooted in centuries-old tradition. 

Turron

A vibrant symbol of Peruvian tradition, Turrón is a sweet, anise-flavored shortbread layered with a thick, sticky cane syrup made from chancaca (raw cane sugar), and topped generously with colorful sprinkles and candies. Soft yet slightly crunchy, each bite offers a perfect mix of textures and flavors—sweet, aromatic, and warmly spiced. Traditionally enjoyed during the Señor de los Milagros festivities in October, this turrón has become a year-round favorite for those seeking a true taste of Peru’s culinary heritage.
