I was never a fan of coconut until I tried these. And I promise you, even if you do not like coconut, give these a try. They are the perfect treat whether as a dessert or breakfast. It is so delicious! There are so many marvelous recipes that come from the Dominican Republic. If you like Latin recipes with a tropical twist you should really give some of these amazing D.R. recipes a try.
Speaking of which, have you ever tried Bullalinka?
It’s a Filipino version of a cake. I think that warrants a try of this recipe! Besides, check out the description: crispy and sweet. That sounds pretty awesome to me!
