Cooking Tips for Great Mexican Desserts

Whether you are a novice cook or new to Mexican cuisine, do not worry about Mexican dessert recipes because many of them are very easy. You do not need all the Mexican utensils found in a Mexican kitchen to make wonderful Mexican dessert dishes, although you might want to invest in one or two! Here are some clever cooking tips to ensure your Mexican dessert recipe come out perfectly every time:

Mexican Cookie Tips

  • Most Mexican cookie recipes will keep for several days in a sealed container. If you keep them longer, they might go soggy.

  • To freeze baked Mexican cookies, layer them between wax paper sheets or parchment paper sheets in an airtight tin. When you want to serve them, thaw them in the tin.

  • If you use all-purpose flour for your Mexican dessert dishes, remember than a pound of flour is the same as four cups.

  • Cookies spread if your cookie dough is too pliable. This happens if you use very soft butter. If this happens when you make Mexican cookies, try chilling the dough in the refrigerator for an hour or two before baking.

Mexican Cake Tips

  • When using nuts in a Mexican cake recipe you can heat them first in the oven, then dust them with flour before adding them to the cake batter. This stops them from sinking to the bottom of the pan.

  • If you drop some eggshell in your cake batter mix, use the remaining piece of shell to remove it.

Freshness Tips

  • Use the freshest ingredients possible for an authentic Mexican flavor in your authentic Mexican desserts. This includes fresh fruit and fresh milk.

  • If you are using eggs in your Mexican desserts, put the egg in a dish filled with cool saltwater. A fresh egg will sink. It if rises, throw it away. Rotten eggs rise because they produce gas inside when they are stale.

Fruit Tips

  • Old brown bananas can be frozen for later use in banana bread and Mexican banana desserts rather than throwing them away.

  • If you want to make a Mexican strawberry dessert, add a little aged Balsamic vinegar because it really brings out the strawberry flavor.

Other Tips

  • If your Mexican dessert recipe calls for whipping cream, you can replace the regular sugar for confectioners' sugar to make the cream stay firmer for longer and to make it fluffier.

  • After using your blender to make a Mexican dessert, add a cup of warm water to the blender and blend it for a few seconds. Pour out the water, add a couple of cups of warm water and a little bit of dishwashing liquid, and blend again with the lid on. Rinse again and it is clean.

  • Sometimes sugar goes hard and if you have hard brown sugar, put a slice of bread in the package and seal it well. The sugar absorbs the moisture from the bread and softens up within a few hours.

  • Drain deep fried Mexican foods such as fried ice cream or dessert empanadas on brown paper bags instead of on paper towels to ensure they stay crispy.
