Limber de Parcha (Passion Fruit Ice Pops)

Limber de parcha are ice pops bursting with the vibrant flavor of tropical passion fruit. In Puerto Rico, limber is traditionally made in small plastic cups. Once frozen, you flip the ice pop upside down and place it back in the cup to make it easier to eat. I like adding a popsicle stick to make them easier to hold while eating. You could also use a popsicle mold to make popsicles or paletas.

This bread pudding is moist and rich in flavor, with notes of vanilla, cinnamon, and cloves. Pair this budin de pan with your favorite cafe con leche or hot chocolate (coquito for the holidays!) for a delicious treat any time of the day.

Caramel Apple Grapes (Easy Recipe)

Caramel apple grapes are really just grapes dipped in caramel and topped with crushed peanuts. They resemble mini caramel apples (adorable!) but there are no actual apples in the recipe. I like to thread the grapes on a lollipop stick which makes them easier to eat. Add Halloween sprinkles for a fun treat your kids will LOVE!

Eclairs and Cream Puffs Recipe

Eclairs (Éclairs) and cream puffs are French pastries made of choux dough, filled with custard and topped with chocolate ganache. I was inspired to make eclairs after watching an episode of Master Chef where the contestants were challenged to make eclairs during the infamous pressure test. The process for me was smooth since I’ve made choux dough before (when making churros!).
