How to make the best Marranitos & Puerquitos (Soft Mexican Gingerbread Pig Shaped Cookies)

¡Hola! How was your Thanksgiving?

My parents had the opportunity to purchase their first home this year, so it was their first time hosting at their place and we had a great time! I did end up having to do about 95% percent of the cooking, but I didn’t mind, I got to use the time to test a few recipes.

One of the recipes I started testing a few nights before, were these Marranitos. Marranitos (or Puerquitos) are these piloncillo cookies shaped like a pig that I wasn’t really a fan of growing up. The panadería across the street from the house I grew up in always made them dry and cakey, and when my uncles would bring fresh pan dulce from their trips to Tijuana there would often be a marranito buried deep in the bag, and those would always snap from how hard and dry they were. I wanted to change a few things for my interpretation, and I really enjoyed how these came out. They’re soft and cakey, but moist, and well spiced!

Horchata Tiramisu 2.0

Horchata Tiramisu

I promised one more dessert recipe before Thanksgiving, so here we are, with this beautiful Horchata Tiramisu that I’d like to bury my face in. I did make an horchata tiramisu last year but this one is new and improved. There’s more horchata, a fluffier horchata marscapone cream, and now, there’s rum in it! (Be sure to run to your favorite taqueria and purchase a big cup of horchata to use for the tiramisu!)

I’m keeping this nice and short today because I know we’re all busy preparing for tomorrow so I hope you all have a great Thanksgiving, and get to have an amazing time with your families.

I’ll be keeping my Central American brothers and sisters in my thoughts as they make the trek through Mexico to find asylum in the U.S. Head over to Remezcla and Romper for a list of resources and ideas on how you can help the caravan.

¡Nos vemos pronto!

Banana Sheet Cake with a Dulce de Leche Cream Cheese Frosting

Thanksgiving is in 3 days, and I can’t wait!

One of my favorite things about Thanksgiving are the desserts; pumpkin pie, pumpkin chocoflan, and pumpkin cheesecake, it’s the only day of the year when I want to binge on all things pumpkin. This year, I’m doing things a little different, I’m bringing this banana sheet cake with a dulce de leche cream cheese frosting to the table!

Banana Sheet Cake with a Dulce de Leche Cream Cheese Frosting

I had bought a bunch of cans of dulce de leche (you can find it at some Target locations, but all Walmart locations should carry it) and a big bag of pecans to use for another post, and was left with a ton of leftovers, so I figured, why not use incorporate them in something else? I had been wanting to do a sheet cake for a while, so after some brainstorming, and a few ripe bananas later, this baby came to fruition. It’s like banana bread, but waaay better. It’s a really moist banana sheet cake, with a dulce de leche cream cheese frosting, topped with a sprinkle of cinnamon candied pecans. The candied pecans are totally optional, you can swap them out for regular pecans, but I did find that they added a really nice crunch to the cake.

I’ve got one more dessert recipe coming up on Wednesday, but if you’d like to add this cake to your Thanksgiving line up, Id suggest throwing a few bananas in a brown paper bag to start the ripening process!
