Frozen Brazo de Mercedes
I am a self-confessed chocolate lover who is not inclined to indulge in desserts that are either pale, pastel or entirely colorless. That means I do not buy vanilla ice cream unless I plan to combine it with chocolate or brownies. I also do not like butter cakes unless they are melt in your mouth or are truly outrageous. I prefer moist chocolate cakes to butter chiffon or even dulce de leche. I make exceptions of course but mostly, I would probably order chocolate first before anything else.
So when I was offered a chance to try frozen brazo de mercedes, I wasn’t exactly jumping for joy. But they promised me I would love it so I obliged.
A small slice of cake on a paper plate was given to me and I first thought, wow, cute. My plastic fork encountered some resistance when I tried to slice through the ice cream. I tasted ice cream, meringue, a drizzle of caramelized sugar and a graham crust. Everything sort of meshed together in my mouth until it eventually melted and slid down my throat. Hmm. Sweet. Addicting actually as I swallowed slice after slice.
Ok I’m a convert. I wanted it. I loved it. Tough, because the small slice was soon gone. Aww. Good thing, I found out where to get myself this delicious dessert. This particular frozen brazo de mercedes is called The Sweet Surrender by Ange of The Sweet Life. She also offers other flavors like Mango, Strawberry and Cheese. I can’t wait to try these. Yummy.

Wow! I love brazos! I remembered Christmas of last year, we ordered Brazo de mercedes from Goldilocks.
Foodelity - If you loved Goldilocks, you will surely fall in love with this dessert!
i just love brazo de mercedes. but it didn’t crossed my mind to freeze it. i definitely must try it. thanks.
definitely addicting… tried it and loved it…:) tried another interesting and yummy frozen dessert, Frozen Apple Crumble from MARTIN MARKUS… so incredibly addicting too…
ela - I also did not think that the brazo de mercedes could be re-structured into something totally delicious. ice cream i think makes it better.
Mikky - Frozen Apple Crumble sounds divine. Where can you get it?
