Ecuadorian Desserts

Here are a few popular Ecuadorian dessert recipes. In Ecuador, we have such an amazing selection of tropical fruit, that many times a simple piece of fruit, such as a mango, zapote, babaco, guanabana, granadilla, among others, can be a great dessert.

Ecuadorian fruits

Come y bebe: Simple and refreshing Ecuadorian drinkable fruit salad made with papaya, pineapple, banana and orange juice.

Espumillas: A popular street food in Ecuador, this dessert is a meringue cream made with fruit pulp, typically guava or guayaba, egg whites and sugar.

    Dear Laylita,

    I’m an Ecuadorean citizen who has lived in the Washington, D.C. area for almost 30 years and just found your website/blog. My wife is American and loves your recipes, One of our favorites is the pan de yuca recipe. Also, the aguado de gallina is “out of this world.” Keep up the hard work!

    Cheers,

    Eduardo.

    Laylita, Con mucha felicidad encontre sus recetas Ecuatorianas!.. Yo soy Guayaquilena, pero he vivido casi dota mi vida en EEUU y tengo unas pocas recetas, pero ahora podre preparer mas de nuestros platos tipicos.

    Tengo unos postres que me gustaria preparer, pero no se como….huevitos de faldiquera,
    muchines de yucca con miel, y tambien los helados de los heladeros de la calle de Guayaquil – expecialmente el helado de coco. Ojala pueda aumentar estas recetas a sus paginas. Estare esperando ansiosamente para el dia que publique su libro de cocina. Podria darme gusto regalandolos a sobrinos y sobrinas quienes son totalmente “Gringos” pero siempre quieren comer los ricos platos Ecuatorianos que preparaba mi Mami.

    Le agradezco a Dios por su talento en la cocina y a Ud. por compartirlo tan generosamente con todos nosotros que gozamos tanto la cocina Ecuatoriana.

    Carmen

    Hi!

    I would love to see a recipe for chucula. I’ve tried making it a few times but it seems to be missing something. Thanks!

    Hi Laylita,

    Do you have a recipe for torta de chocolate mojada? My husband is from Quito and I’d love to make this for him for his birthday.

    Love your blog! So helpful for this American woman trying to cook for an Ecuadorian man :) I can’t wait for the cookbook to come out!

    Hola Laylita,

    ….What do you suggest as the best queso for the sweet empanada’s ?

    Gracias
    Laurita :)

      It depends, are you going to do a mix of queso + something dulce? If you like the contrast of sweet and salty you can use queso fresco. If you prefer a more creamy mild taste then go with cream cheese. And for something different (but delicious) you could also try goat cheese (for some recipes I beat with sugar/honey and vanilla until it’s nice and smooth).

    Dear Laylita,

    I am wondering if you have any recipes for a torta de manzana y nuez con caramelo, like they have at Sweet and Coffe in Ecuador. My husband is from Guayaquil and I want to make him this cake for his birthday. It’s impossible to find a recipe online and I was wondering if you had one?

    Muchas Gracias!!!
    Jennifer

{Chocolates y dulces ecuatorianos - cuál es tu favorito?}
{Pan de yuca con cafecito} Freshly baked cassava cheese breads - I made a big batch over a month ago when I bought a massive chunk (2kg) of cheese from @mitierralux and frozen most of them(shaped but unbaked). Especially so that I can bake them on demand during these days when we need a quick breakfast/snack/appetizer.
