Still, there are a few typical Guatemalan desserts that you may recognize, such as tres leches cake and arroz con leche. Others like torrejas and Magdalena cake will probably be new to you.
Bocado de reina is a favorite Guatemalan dessert not only because it’s delicious but also because it’s a great way to bring new life to leftover bread. This crunchy puff pastry got its name from its shape that looks like a tie. It is usually soaked in a glaze or honey to make it taste even sweeter.
Plantains are often thought of green bananas that are used in savoury dishes but they are a versatile starch used in Guatemalan desserts as well. The rellenitos “dough” used cooked plantains that are mashed and then rolled out. The dough is filled with refried beans – yes beans!
