Flan con Frutas del Bosque (Flan with Berries)
When I think about a Mexican food memories from my childhood this dessert is one of them. I’ve never going to forget when we used to go to my grandma’s house, my auntie Laura, used to make flan for use every time we were there and every time I used to end up licking the plate, that sugar syrup is addictive and the custard is just amazing and the good news is, that is just so easy to make, that I feel a bit embarrassed to be posting the recipe here, but as my friend Claudia said to me, “there are people that don’t know how to make it” so here it is.

Pastel de Tres Leches (Tres Leches Cake)
I’ve been wanting to do this cake for ages, but I have to confess that baking is not my thing, so I kept leaving it for another time, but last Sunday it was my son’s birthday and I organised a Mexican Birthday Party, so I thought it was a good opportunity to put into practice my rusty baking skills and I have to say that I was very impress with the end result, everybody loved it, specially my little Emilio, who was over the moon!
