    Costa Rica has quite a diverse gastronomy, thanks to the mixture of its European, African and Indigenous roots. The desserts are exquisite and although some resemble others from Latin countries, their preparation and freshness make them one of a kind. That is why we have brought you a list of the 5 Costa Rican desserts that you probably did not know and that you definitely must try once you step on Costa Rican soil:

    Churchill

This dessert consists of three basic ingredients, which are ice, syrup and condensed milk. It is ideal to consume during the summer since it is a refreshing and hydrating drink. However, you can enjoy it at any time of the year.

    Fresco De Chan
