While savory Mexican cuisine is undeniably tasty, there are also many sweet selections that are equally delicious. Mexican desserts are so good because they often use fresh, simple ingredients bursting with flavor. While there are plenty of amazing dishes to choose from, the following desserts are popular among kids and adults alike. 

Authentic Desserts to Satisfy Your Sweet Tooth

1. Fried Ice Cream

Although the name seems like a misnomer, fried ice cream is quite possibly the most popular sweet treat in Mexico. It's made by taking a frozen scoop of vanilla ice cream and slathering it with batter, which usually includes crushed corn flakes, cinnamon, and egg whites. Once coated, the ice cream is deep-fried in oil for a crunchy exterior and soft, sweet middle.

2. Paletas

Fruit paletas are delicious and healthy. They're similar to ice pops, except they incorporate pieces of whole fruit into the frozen concoction. Paletas are available in a variety of flavors, including mango, strawberry, and pineapple. There are also ice cream paletas, which can include ingredients like chocolate, coconut, and condensed milk. Paletas are made by blending ingredients and pouring the mix into a special mold, which is then placed in a freezer until solid. 

3. Fresas Con Crema

If you're looking for something light and refreshing on a hot day, fresas con crema is the way to go. This Mexican dessert incorporates rich cream and tart strawberries for an explosion of natural flavors. The cream sauce is created by mixing sweet condensed milk, sour cream, and vanilla extract for a subtly sweet result. While strawberries are the standard selection, this treat can also include blueberries, raspberries, or peaches.
