El dulce de lechosa de mi abuela, nadie lo hace igual.
Qué nostalgia ver esta lista desde lejos 💛💙❤️
Bienmesabe venezolano no tiene nada que ver con el canario, ojo.
Majarete con canela, sabor a infancia.
Los besitos de coco me recuerdan a la playa de Choroní.
Torta negra en Navidad con su toque de ron 🎄
El quesillo primero, el postre de todos los cumpleaños venezolanos.
Golfeados con queso de mano, la mejor merienda.
