Our Favorite Peruvian Desserts in Lima, Peru Travel Video Transcript:
#eatPERU
For today's food video we are going to be eating nothing but desserts. We're at a little place in Lima that is called La Tiendecita Blanca and we're pretty sure this is actually a little Swiss cafe not Peruvian. But they do have some Peruvian dishes here. So we've ordered Suspiro a la limeña and Merengado de chirimoya and the last one is Torta Tres leches which I'm pretty sure was not invented in Peru but you can find it almost everywhere. So we're going to be sampling those three today. It is going to be sugary.
We're going to start out with the most authentic of all the three desserts. This one is called Suspiro a la limeña and that means the sigh of the women from Lima. What a name for a dessert.
So this thing of beauty originated in the city of Lima in the 19th century. It is a very popular dessert.
And apparently it has manjar blanco which is kind of like the dulce de leche of Peru. And it also comes with egg yolks. It is not egg whites. And what is the other one? It has vanilla essence. Vanilla essence.
Oh, wow. That's like the best butterscotch pudding I've ever had in my whole life. That is amazing. Wow, you really taste the manjar blanco. It has a rich kind of caramel milky kind of consistency. And it is really thick and creamy but also extremely sweet. Like this is just woah. Jolted by the sugar. Yeah, it is served at room temperature. And if you see this lovely little swirl on top that is some meringue and it looks a little bit purple because it is made with port wine. It has a tiny hint of port wine and then cinnamon on top. This is a decadent dessert. You definitely will want to try if you're visiting Lima.
Number two, we are having something called Merengado de chirimoya.
And don't be fooled by this little fruit on the side. This is not chirimoya. Chirimoya is actually a big green fruit. It almost looks like a giant avocado and inside it has some white flesh. So yeah, that is in here and it has been mixed with manjar blanco which is similar to dulce de leche. Um, let's see if I can find some of it. Oh, wow that looks really thick and decadent. So yeah it is like fruit and manjar blanco served chilled with meringue on top.
Yeah, it is a nice combination. The fruit itself. Is it refreshing. It is refreshing because it has been served chilled but the fruit itself Chirimoya it doesn't have that strong of a flavor. So what I mostly taste is the manjar blanco.
So apparently Mark Twain once tried Chirimoya and he said it was the most delicious fruit known to man. So that is high praise for Chirimoya. And I think in English it is actually known as a custard apple.
So I don't know but the dessert is good. I can recommend it. Oh, and did we mention that it has meringue on top?
And last but not least, we are having the non Peruvian dessert which is really popular in Peru. Yeah, the Tres Leches one. And that means three different kinds of milk. So we've got the evaporated, we've got the cream and what is the other one? Condensed.
You really taste the different milks. Like that is the overwhelming thing. It is kind of different from a normal cake which is dry. This is kind of a wet cake and you yeah you really taste the milk. It is very sugary too. I have to say I definitely like it. And if you take a closer look you can actually see it is a sponge cake. So there is a pretty good job of soaking those three milks. And on top we have some cream, some whipped cream, strawberries. And this right here is called aguaymanto.
Anyways, let's talk about the price for those three desserts.
48 Soles which is just under $15 US dollars. Not bad value. I mean you can get these desserts where it is cheaper but this is a little bit more of a fancier restaurant and the quality here is excellent.
This is part of our Travel in Peru video series showcasing Peruvian food, Peruvian culture and Peruvian cuisine.

I love the Tiendecita Blanca. It has been there for decades and was able to maintain their quality. Suspiro a la Limena.....Yummy. Merngado de Cherimoya was great too but a new dessert in Peru as opposed to the Suspiro a la Limena that always existed. Great job in quoting Mark Twain. You guys do you homework. That is why I love your videos.
Peru is the “World’s leading Culinary destination”, according to the World Travel Awards.

The dessert suspiro a la limeña is made different nowaday , When I was a kid I remember it had three layers. at the bottom of the cup or the glass had a kind of cake moisted with honey or syrup or condensed milk a kind of honey sponge cake. That bottom layer is missing this days, I guess nobody do the original recipe because it will be sweeter than it is without the cake with honey or syrup.
Great video! amazing peruvian desserts 😍💕

Hey guys . Big fan here, I've seen all your Peruvian videos . I don't know if you have tried these desserts of yet but me being Peruvian can recommend crema volteada, which translates to upside down cream..but it's essentially a flan/custard but a little bit more eggy and dense. I grew up eating it and also leche asada which translates to baked milk and it's kinda like creme brule also delicious. And also torta helada which is a cake layered on top with a mousse often strawberry flavored on top of strawberry jello!. Looking forward to more videos 😁

I'm not sure that "suspiro a la limeña" means "the sigh of the woman from Lima". I think a closer interpretation would "Sigh Lima's style" ... or something

Aguaymanto is known as a "gooseberry" in North America. I love your videos, but must insist that Samuel keep his elbows off the table while dining, and that he removes his hat, per local custom. A small thing, but important in respecting the culture.
