• Churros – This traditional cinnamon-and-sugar dusted Mexican crullers are almost universal where Mexican food desserts are front and center. These perfectly deep fried and cinnamon-sugar coated treats are best when dipped in hot chocolate or any of the fancy sauces the chef has whipped up.

Crepas con Cajeta is a definite caramel dish favorite. You will be wowed by perfectly cooked crepes, caramelized chopped pecans, and creamy cajeta sauce.

• Tres Leches Cake – A more adventurous sponge cake, this staple Mexican dessert is made with three different types of milk, including heavy cream, condensed, and evaporated milk. Combined, they make the cake moist enough without being soggy. Different Mexican restaurants boast their own versions of Tres Leches, including ones that are a blend of perfectly moist light textures topped with delicious white chocolate shavings.

• Spicy Mexican Hot Chocolate Cookies – If you want something you have never tasted before, try these cookies with a unique Mexican twist. Hot chocolate cookies may look like your regular, straight from the oven chocolate cookies, but they offer a special kick care of the cayenne pepper mixed into your typical chocolate cookie dough.

• Chocolate Lava Cake – If a hot dessert is not for you, try a hot and cold chocolate lava cake, which is usually served a la mode with rich vanilla ice cream.
