Desserts for Noche Buena

Noche Buena is taking the finest food to the table. Of course, this involves the creamiest and most tasty desserts. Do you remember your nanay or lola busy in the kitchen making desserts of all kinds for the Christmas Eve spread? When it comes to the sweet treats of Pinoy, the ones below have survived the time test. Learn how to make them possible and pass them on to your children, too.

1. Buko Pandan - Young or old, the buko pandan holds a special spot in the heart of Pinoy. It's hard to resist this cold, fluffy dessert scoop. Plus, it's just as easy to produce. Create a large batch, so you can bet that a lot of guests are taking seconds. See how to do that in the video above.

2. Mango Float - We also remember nibbling on graham crackers while watching our mothers cook this beloved Pinoy dessert. Another crowd-pleaser, this mango cake doesn't need to be baked. You should ice it or put it in the refrigerator to keep the texture smooth and fluffy.

3. Suman at Sikwate - Our lolas know how to make suman so why can't we? It's not as difficult as it looks after all. Perk up your sticky rice cakes with a chocolate center and serve with coco jam or slices of mango. The best part? It’s best served with a classic hot chocolate! This duo is perfect when snuggling in the cold weather after all the festivities last night during your salubong. Pro tip: want to know where to get the best chocolate in town?
