Dominican Desserts – Top 10 In Puerto Plata
Hello Travelers!
Before you begin, in case you are a fan of culture and architecture, do not forget to take a look at our previous post about the Victorian Buildings located in Puerto Plata.
Firstly, i hope you were able to enjoy many of the events we had last May in Puerto Plata. For Dominican kids, June is the beginning of summer vacations. Time to enjoy hanging out with the block friends, riding bikes, summer camps, and why not? Going out with the family for, preferably, a sweet treat!
Secondly, on some of my previous blogs, I listed the Top 10 best dishes to taste, and the Top 10 best drinks to try (go on and check them out), and for me, there is no complete meal without dessert. So, if you are a sugar lover, here are (to our taste) the top 10 Dominican desserts to try while visiting Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic. As there is no dieting while on vacation, let your sugar route begin!
Dominican Desserts – Helado De Uva De Playa
One of our great Dominican desserts. This ice cream is a must when visiting Puerto Plata. Many Dominicans from out of town come here looking for this seasonal ice cream flavor. , you would be able to find it at Heladería Mariposa located in front of Central Park.
Dominican Desserts – Galletas Julia
This generational homemade cookie is sold at their family home. A recipe and business that is now on their 3rd generation.
Another treat that many Dominicans come looking for in Puerto Plata. These vanilla cookies are a great companion for your tea or coffee, eat it with ice cream or enjoy it alone. Ask your taxi for their address, or write to me so that I can give it to you.
Dominican Desserts – Dulce De Leche
One of the most characteristical dessert in Latin American countries. Each country has its twist to it. (I have tried some of them). Ours tends to be sweeter, and there are some ingredients that we add to improve its flavor: sweet potato, coconut, pineapple, orange.
But always having the Dulce de leche as the protagonist of it. You can buy most of these variations in any local supermarket or Dominican Things shops. Or try one of the most famous one in Puerto Plata: Doña Agustina, located near Central Park.
Dulce De Coco
Coconut is ubiquitous in Dominican Republic cuisine. We use its oil, we drink its water, we add it to many savory dishes, but my favorite use is in desserts.
There are many different ways to present it: baked, with milk, with sweet potato, using the ripe coconut, using the green coconut, letting it to caramelize (Jalao) and way many more options that you can find in any local supermarket or Dominican Things shops. We also love the Coconut desserts made by another old traditional homemade recipe by Doña Agustina located close to Central Park.
Dulces En Almibar
The sky is the limit in syrup desserts in the Dominican Republic: papaya, orange, guava, cherries, grapefruit, passion fruit, etc. Most of them are homemade, and you can find them in many restaurants, supermarkets or bakeries of town.
The good thing about them is that most of them come in a closed jar, and don’t need full-time refrigeration, so that you can take them home in your luggage.
Tres Leches
You can also find some variations of this dessert around Latin America. It is a combination of a vanilla cake soaked in three kinds of milk mix: Hole Milk, Condense milk and evaporated milk, with some other surprise ingredients that enhance its flavor. It is a cold dessert. And you can find it in most of the restaurants and bakeries in town.
Flan De Leche / Coco
This dessert is typical in all around the DR. Variation of Coconut, or only caramel (milk) are the most used. You can certainly find them in most of the restaurants and bakeries of town, certainly.
Dulce Frío
Another great Dominican dessert, This is our favorite one. Usually a family Sunday lunch dessert. Its preparation includes biscuits, vanilla pudding, a hitch of rum, syrup fruit cocktail. You can find it in many supermarkets and bakeries of town.
Dulce De Leche Cortada 
This dessert is another twist of Dulce de leche. But on this occasion, the milk gets “spoiled” and soured with lemon. It creates some crumbles, we also add cinnamon and raisins to it. You can find it in many restaurants, supermarkets, and bakeries of town.
Habichuelas Con Dulce
This traditional Dominican dessert is mainly served at Easter time. Made from red kidney beans, milk, spices, raisins, and sweet potato, this is a most to try while visiting the Dominican Republic. In addition, some variations include coconut milk.
However, we usually add vanilla cookies or “Cazabe” (our traditional yucca bread) to it. You can drink it cold or hot. You can find it in many bakeries and supermarkets in town. And most of the restaurants have it on Easter season.
I hope you can enjoy or take home most of them! Which one was your favorite? Leave a comment below!
