What traditional Mexican desserts are the easiest to make at home?

Paletas, or fresh fruit pops, are a fun summer treat with a Mexican twist. Flavors such as tamarind, mango with ancho chili powder, and rice pudding with cinnamon are refreshing and interesting.

Pastel de tres leches, or three milk cake, is a classic Mexican dessert that is easy to make. It is a light vanilla cake soaked in a mixture of cream, condensed milk and evaporated milk and then topped with whipped cream.

Baked flan is another popular choice. This is a rich custard baked over a thin layer of caramel. It uses few ingredients but makes an impressive presentation.
