Even though
majority of the times Ecuadorians eat a piece of fruit after the food.
There are also
traditional and very delicious sweets and desserts.
Here are a few
of them.
Hope you will
enjoy them as much as I have.
Quimbolitos are a type of
steamed puddings.
They are also called sweet
tamales because they resemble tamales very closely.
Quimbolitos are
sold on the streets and in restaurants and are immensely popular among
Ecuadorians.
And they are one of my
favorite desserts here in Ecuador.
Not hard to make and fun to
eat, I recommend them to everyone.

Do you know what a taxo is?
This delicious fruit is also called banana
passionfruit because of its yellow color and banana like appearance.
It makes excellent smoothies and ice-cream, and has
many health benefits.
If you did not know taxo yet, I recommend you try it
out.
You can find instruction on how to make a taxo
smoothie or homemade ice-cream HERE.
Espumilla is a pink and ivory colored guaba fruit foam that is sold on the streets.
It is very popular and luckily easy to make it home.
You just need some guabas, eggs and sugar.
And voilá, you have your own batch of delicious espumilla.

Melcocha can be found all around the Ecuador where ever there are roads
and travelers to buy the products.
It is an Ecuadorian artisan taffy and extremely delicious.
The traditional recipe is made only with sugar and butter but you can
add different fruit juices to it to give it flavor.
My personal favorite is mandarin flavored melcocha.

Tomate de Arbol or tree tomato is a
popular Ecuadorian fruit.
It is tangy with a little sweetness,
is a great source of Vitamin A, B6 and C and also contains Vitamin E and
Thiamine.
In Ecuador it is used in juice,
smoothies, desserts, and hot salsa.
I especially enjoy tree tomatoes smoothies because of their great taste
and because they are so good for my health.
