About the Show

Each year during our heritage month, we crank up the music, swap stories, and dive headfirst into the colorful buffet of our culture. But nothing zaps some of us back to childhood faster than dessert. South American desserts have that superpower—teasing the tongue, warming the heart, and making us smile like we just snuck an extra cookie when no one was looking. Lately, we’ve been daydreaming about the sweets our abuelas or parents whipped up—the ones we begged to lick the spoon from, or that made the whole house smell like heaven before dinner. So, we figured: why not recreate three of the most beloved South American desserts? They’re simple, a little magical, and definitely indulgent. If you’re new here, welcome—grab a fork. If you’re not, well… you already know the drill.
