If you’re anything like us, your trip to Spain will likely center around eating. But no matter how much incredible Spanish food you try, be sure to save room for these typical desserts from Spain! (You can thank us later.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Three<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Spain may not be as famous for dessert as some of our other European counterparts, but you\u2019ll be pleasantly surprised by how many sweet treats Madrid has to offer. Here are some of our favorite desserts from Spain that you won’t want to miss!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One delicious Spanish sweet you aren’t going to find on this list? Churros! That’s because we eat churros for breakfast or as a snack, but never for dessert. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s our list of the best churros in Madrid<\/a>. Now, on to the desserts!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

1. Leche Frita<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Leche frita<\/em> (literally “fried milk”) is a Spanish sweet that is typical to northern Spain. The exact origin is unknown, as many regions claim to have invented the dish, but this recipe spread very quickly throughout the country!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To make leche<\/em> frita,<\/em> simply combine flour, eggs, milk and sugar into a custard-like dough. Then mold the mixture into rectangles and deep-fry it in olive oil, creating a perfectly crunchy exterior. Just before serving, finish it off with a sugar glaze and a dash of cinnamon. Yum!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Bizcocho<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Depending on which Spanish-speaking country you’re in,\u00a0bizcocho<\/em>\u00a0can refer to anything from pastries to cookies. However, here in Spain, when you see bizcocho<\/em> on a dessert menu, you can expect a delicious sponge cake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many versions of this typical dessert from Spain use yogurt to help give them an irresistibly moist texture. You can find bizcochos<\/em> in all sorts of flavors ranging from lemon to chocolate!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Torrijas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you’re a French toast fan, then\u00a0torrijas <\/em>are the best dessert from Spain for you!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stale brioche bread is soaked in sweetened milk and eggs, then fried\u00a0in olive oil and dusted with cinnamon sugar. The end result is to die for, with a crispy outside and fluffy inside. Some versions even soak the torrijas<\/em> in wine instead of milk, or drizzle them with honey for an extra punch of flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Typically eaten during Lent and Easter Week, torrijas<\/em>\u00a0are a bit of a seasonal specialty. Lucky for us, many places are now starting to serve these tasty morsels year round! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Flan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Spanish flan is a caramel pudding made from a simple mixture of milk, sugar and eggs. You’ll see it served in almost every bar and restaurant in Madrid and beyond, making it the king of all desserts from Spain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This rich, gelatinous dessert is placed into a metal mold and then cooked to perfection in a water bath\u00a0(known in Spain as a\u00a0ba\u00f1o Mar\u00eda).\u00a0<\/em>Once the custard has set, it’s turned upside down on a plate so that the sweet caramel sauce can drip down its sides. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vanilla is the classic flavor, but you can find other variations like chocolate and even coconut! Our recommendation: try them all and discover your favorite. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Tarta de Queso<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Spanish cheesecake is lighter and fluffier than what you usually find in many other countries. Many of the best Spanish cheesecakes spotlight delicious regional cheeses. In Madrid, you can find cheesecakes made with everything from cured Manchego sheep cheese to creamy Payoyo goat cheese from the mountains of C\u00e1diz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, that’s not to say that there aren’t incredible cheesecakes from Spain that just use good old cream cheese, either. In fact, perhaps the most famous\u2014the Basque Country’s iconic take on the dessert\u2014is famous for its use of Philadephia!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Natillas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Natillas<\/em> is one of the most versatile and typical Spanish desserts. Nuns all across Europe made variations of this dish throughout history, but Spain has refined it into what it is today!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This\u00a0custard dessert has a simple ingredient list of milk, sugar, vanilla\u00a0and eggs. Many versions infuse cinnamon into the mixture, as well as other flavors such as chocolate, lemon and turr\u00f3n<\/em>, a Spanish candy popular at Christmastime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Rosc\u00f3n de Reyes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Another seasonal favorite, rosc\u00f3n de Reyes<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>is the most typical dessert from Spain to eat\u00a0on January 6 for\u00a0El D\u00eda de los Reyes Magos<\/a><\/em>\u00a0(Three Kings’ Day).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rosc\u00f3n<\/em> is a sweetened bread\u00a0in a circular or oval shape. Some are plain; others are cut in half lengthwise and filled with whipped cream or chocolate. For the pi\u00e8ce de r\u00e9sistance<\/em>, it’s often covered with\u00a0candied fruits to look like a bejeweled crown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just be careful while you eat\u2014both a small figurine and a bean are traditionally hidden inside. If you find the figurine, you’re the king for the day! If you find the bean, though, you have to pay for next year’s cake!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. Crema Catalana<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As you may have guessed from the name, crema catalana<\/em> has Catalan roots. However, today it’s one of the most popular traditional desserts in Spain and a staple on restaurant dessert menus throughout the country!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You’d be forgiven for thinking that crema catalana<\/em> is a sort of rip-off of its more famous French cousin, cr\u00e8me br\u00fbl\u00e9e. However, most sources indicate that crema catalana<\/em> came first (or at least was recorded first!). The first recipes for crema catalana<\/em> are 300 years older than the first recorded references of cr\u00e8me br\u00fbl\u00e9e.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the modern versions of both desserts are quite similar and both are delicious, there are a few key differences. While cr\u00e8me br\u00fbl\u00e9e is made with cream and flavored with vanilla, crema catalana<\/em> uses milk and has a hint of citrus flavor. Crema catalana<\/em> can also be made without the use of a hot water bath, which saves a step!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9. Arroz con Leche<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It’s no secret that rice dishes<\/a> are a pretty big deal here in Spain. But what if we told you that one of the most typical desserts from Spain also incorporates rice?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arroz con leche<\/em> is Spain’s take on rice pudding. Perfectly creamy and bursting with comforting cinnamon and lemon flavors, it’s the perfect way to cap off a long Spanish lunch in Madrid<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10. Tocino de Cielo<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This decadent dessert from Spain has its roots in a humble Andalusian convent. Winemakers in the area used egg whites to clarify the wine during the production process, and gave the leftover yolks to the nuns. When mixed with sugar and placed into a hot water bath to set, the results were spectacular.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, tocino de cielo<\/em> is still largely associated with convents in Spain, and some restaurants will still buy it directly from the nuns (an acceptable exception to the general rule of the best desserts being made in-house!). Pair it with a glass of dessert sherry wine for a truly sweet experience!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Desserts from Spain FAQs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
