Baked apples with Mexican chocolate
4 servings
30 minutes
Baked apples with Mexican chocolate are a cozy treat that blends the richness of cocoa with the caramel sweetness of baked fruits. This dessert is inspired by Mexican culinary traditions where chocolate often pairs with unusual ingredients, creating a harmony of flavors. During baking, the apples become soft and juicy, their natural tartness complementing the gentle sweetness of marshmallows and the thickness of melted chocolate. A light creaminess adds depth to the flavor, while the caramelized crust of marshmallows brings a textural play. This dessert is perfect for cozy evenings, warming with its aroma and richness. It can be served as a standalone dish or complemented with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for contrasting flavor. Tender, warming, and surprisingly easy to make — it will become a favorite among lovers of unconventional desserts.
