If you’ve never enjoyed a jericalla, you are in for treat! Think of it as a combination of a flan and a creme brûlée. A sweet, creamy vanilla custard with a roasted, golden brown top. Prepared in individual servings, this dessert is the perfect ending to a meal.
Jericallas originate from the city of Guadalajara in the Mexican state of Jalisco. The basic ingredients are sugar, milk, eggs, vanilla and cinnamon. Jericallas call for less eggs than a flan and no caramelized topping. The jericallas are cooked in a water bath until the tops roast. Sometimes having to finish them in the broiler as I did.
Sold by street food vendors in Guadalajara and found in practically every dessert menu in Jalisco, jericallas are a traditional, delicious Mexican treat. You can easily prepare your own with few ingredients. Not toppings needed. Traditional jericallas are simple and served without toppings.
