Picarones Peruanos
Picarones are one of the favorite desserts for all Peruvians. The story goes that the Picarón had its origin in pre-Hispanic times, when the natives prepared a similar recipe based on sweet potatoes and squash, ingredients that were part of the diet of the Incas. Whoever tries the Picarones for the first time will not be able to resist that sweet flavor and smell coming from the three main ingredients that give it that unique flavor, I mean the squash (pumpkin), the sweet potato (sweet potato or moniato) and the chancaca honey ( brown sugar).
