1. Cuerva Bakeshop: Mango Torte
Iconic is not a word we use lightly, but Cuerva Bakeshop’s mango torte is well worth the exception. An original dessert created by founder Paz Cuerva in the 1960s, the frozen delight has a crave-worthy nut-meringue crust, a secret house-made mango sauce, beautiful fresh mangoes, and whipped cream to bring it all together. Family gatherings are all but synonymous with Cuerva’s signature dessert—a tradition that will surely continue for generations to come.
