PIO QUINTO
The other evening, my friend Ana, came over and brought a bite to eat for us before she went to church and then she unpacked this little bit of heaven!! I was allowed to have like three little bites - but it was wonderful. ;) Pio Quinto is a Nicaraguan dessert consisting of cake drenched in rum, topped with a custard, and dusted with cinnamon. Some recipes also include raisins. Pio Quinto is eaten after meals or during Christmas time. The cake is believed to have been named after Pope Pius V, but the connection is unknown.
