Polvorones - Almond Cookies Ranking right up there with mantecados, rich and crumbly "polvorones" are a delicious cookie, especially popular during the Christmas season. The name comes from the word "polvo", meaning dust. You might think it odd, but they are so delicate that they appear to be dust, and must be handled carefully. They are very rich and practically melt in your mouth

Top 5 Argentine Desserts

Rogel This Argentine classic is a wedding cake (and café) favourite, and rightly so! An equally decadent option, this cake also hinges on the Argentine national treasure: dulce de leche. This time, you will find it wedged between layers of crispy, paper-thin pastry. Layer upon layer is piled up until you arrive at the centrepiece, a final top layer of decadent whipped Italian meringue. The contrasting textures of crispy pastry with gooey meringue are a total success!

How to Make Churros - Spanish Fritters "Churros" are fried dough fritters, which look almost like French fries. The best way to explain them is to say that they are the Spanish equivalent of doughnuts. Instead of a little ring like a doughnut, a "churro" is normally long and relatively straight, with ridges. After frying, they are cut into lengths and topped with sugar or honey. Served with thick hot chocolate, they are definitely a favorite late-night

Chocotorta As the name suggests, this is indeed a chocolate cake, although quite unlike any other. This ubiquitous sweet treat is a chocoholics dream: a multilayered cake with an Argentine twist. One layer of dark chocolate biscuit is followed by a layer of dulce de leche mixed with a cream cheese equivalent, followed by another layer of dulce de leche, and on and on it goes… The biscuits are dipped in coffee before they are added to each layer, making an already sweet cake even sweeter!
