Suspiro Limeño

Suspiro Limeño is a beloved traditional dessert from Peru, known for its rich, velvety texture and delicate balance of flavors. It features a base layer of manjar blanco, a silky caramel-like dulce de leche made from slow-cooked sweetened milk, which delivers a deep, sweet richness. This is topped with a cloud-like meringue, lightly flavored with cinnamon and sometimes a hint of port wine, adding a fragrant and airy contrast to the creamy base. Each spoonful melts in your mouth, combining indulgent sweetness with a subtle spice, evoking the warmth and heritage of Lima’s culinary traditions. Perfect as a decadent finish to any meal or a special treat to savor with coffee or tea.
