Chilean desserts blend Spanish colonial baking traditions with the German immigrant influence found in the south, resulting in a sweets culture built on manjar (Chilean dulce de leche), egg-rich pastries, and holiday classics served at family gatherings across the country.
Brazo de Reina
A delicate sponge cake rolled around a generous layer of manjar and dusted with powdered sugar, brazo de reina is a staple in bakeries across Chile — one of the country’s most beloved everyday treats, served at afternoon tea tables nationwide.

A Guide to Chilean Desserts
Chilean desserts run on manjar, the country's dulce de leche. Brazo de reina rolls it inside a sponge, cuchuflí pipes it into crisp wafer tubes, and it fills most of the pastries at a Chilean once. Calzones rotos are the twisted fried dough with powdered sugar, and pan de Pascua is the dense fruit-and-nut cake that means Christmas.
