Lima, Peru should be near the top of your list of places to visit in Latin America. This diverse country boasts a beautiful coastline with relaxing beaches, excellent museums showcasing the finest Peruvian art and history, a lively nightlife, annual festivals, shopping in both modern malls and artisan markets, some of Peru’s top universities, and even a UNESCO World Heritage Site featuring well-preserved colonial architecture. Considered one of the culinary capitals of the world, it is impossible to visit Lima without tasting some exquisite flavors. Dishes like ceviche (raw fish marinated in citrus juices), lomo saltado (stir-fried beef), and anticuchos (grilled skewers) can be found by following your nose and appetite into renowned restaurants across the city. With all these options, today we want to introduce a lesser known Peruvian dessert called Supriso Limeño (literally translated “sigh of Lima”). With a creamy custard base topped with a fluffy, rich meringue and a dash of cinnamon, this dessert is sure to satisfy the sweetest of sweet tooths. Let’s make it together with Valentina!
