Just to give you a little taste of some good options check out Churros with Strawberries and Cream Cheese: May is the month for strawberries, so strawberry desserts are very popular for Mother’s Day and for graduations. Our own creation, this strawberry dessert is not a traditional Spanish recipe, but combines elements found in many Spanish desserts – custard, whipped cream and fruit with a favorite - churros. Be sure to allow enough time to chill the custard.
