Mexican bakery offers us a wide variety of sweet bread sweet bread: conchas, cuernitos, garibaldis, panqués, and more; however, one of our favorites is the piloncillo marranito, a crunchy cookie with a great spiced flavor.

So at Kiwilimón, we got creative and made this ice cream sandwich with pig cookies for dessert time, the combination of spices with vanilla ice cream is irresistible! Also, don't hesitate to dip the marranitos in atole or hot chocolate.

Fun fact: It is said that the piloncillo pig, also known as chichimbré, is inspired by English muffins that arrived in Mexican lands after World War I, but instead of ginger, they were made here with cinnamon and anise.
