Mexican Dessert Recipes
Mexican Coffee
This is a very special coffee. The vanilla, cocoa, and cinnamon suit the coffee flavor perfectly and the whipped cream on top adds a nice touch. This Mexican coffee recipe is good served with any kind of Mexican cookie recipe, such as biscochitos or Mexican sugar cookies.
This kind of coffee is very rich and can be served instead of a dessert after dinner. Depending on your taste, you might want to add some dark or white sugar to the finished result but do taste it first because Mexican coffee tends to be sweet and rich without the addition of extra sugar.
