In Chile, sweets are plentiful and most do seem to love their sweets and snacks. Manjar, a caramelised condensed milk seem to be a local hit, with majar desserts, flavours of ice cream and cakes too! We were not too keen on that as we found it exceedingly sweet. However, there were 2 desserts we did fall for!
Mote Con Huesillo! Initially when we saw this we likened it to Tau Suan immediately! Cos it looked similar with the yellow bits swimming in a syrup. It turned out to be really delicious and refreshing! A rehydrated peach nectar made with sugar and cinnamon with wheat. Its a common dessert that can be found on the streets, especially in the summer. So we were lucky to come across it during a very sunny winter's day!

Oooh! This next one also gets us very excited ! Stewed Chestnuts in a syrup with whipped cream. The syrup tastes almost like gula melaka... We aren't usually fans of whipped cream but this combination goes very well together. Lovely and so simple. Something we'll definitely try to recreate back in London now that autumn and chest nut season will arrive soon!
