Americans have grown sweet to Latin desserts - Sweets and treats from Mexico and South America are going mainstream.

Look on the dessert menus in your favorite restaurants. At Sapphire Laguna it’s dulce de leche ice cream, rum caramel sauce and mango coulis. At Tommy Bahama’s there’s piña colada cake. The Cheesecake Factory has Kahlua cocoa coffee cheesecake.

Check out the sweets in the grocery stores: Häagen-Dazs offers dulce de leche ice cream in regular and light versions, and at Costco there are gigantic Key lime cheesecakes.

Stroll through the treat booths at county fairs, amusement parks and sports stadiums and you’re sure to see churros, plain or with caramel sauce.”*
