Whether you’re cooking up some of your favorite Mexican dishes for dinner, hosting a happy hour that features Mexican drinks and cocktails or gathering your friends for a Cinco de Mayo celebration, you’re going to need a great dessert—and we’ve got plenty of ideas. Buñuelos are one of our favorites (who can say 'no' to fried dough?!) and Marcela’s recipe makes frying them up so easy. She uses pre-made tortillas which you can leave whole or cut into any shape you desire. After taking them out of the hot oil, toss in cinnamon-sugar and enjoy. They’re that simple!

Carlota de limón is a classic Mexican icebox cake that consists of layers of Maria cookies and an airy, creamy lime filling. The cake is refrigerated until the cookies become tender and deliciously infused with flavor for a taste reminiscent of key lime pie.

This irresistibly sweet and chewy coconut bark is made with just 2 simple ingredients — and we’re willing to bet you’ve got both of them in your pantry right now: shredded coconut and sweetened condensed milk.

Chocoflan is one of Mexico's most-famous desserts, and it's easy to see why: You can enjoy moist chocolate cake and creamy flan all in one slice with Marcela's recipe.
