Tembleque is a coconut dessert pudding from Puerto Rico[1] similar to blancmange and manjar blanco. It is one of the most popular desserts in Puerto Rican cuisine.[2]
Ingredients
Tembleque is made by cooking coconut cream, coconut milk, heavy cream (optional), salt, cornstarch, sugar, frequently orange blossom water, and garnished with ground cinnamon.
Tembleque can also be topped with a relish or syrup usually made with sugar, liqueur, spices, fruit juice or diced, and wine or simply chocolate shavings on top.[3][4][5]
Cultural importance
It is a holiday dish, served on New Year's Day throughout the island of Puerto Rico.[6] While the recipe may have originated in Puerto Rico,[7] there are variants on the dish in Latin America and other countries. In Brazil, the dish is known as manjar branco. According to the Encyclopedia of Puerto Rico, published by the Foundation for the Humanities, each time a Puerto Rican migrant to the United States comes closer and closer to forgetting their roots, foods like tembleque bring them back and remind them of who they are, of their island, and of their grandmother.[8]
Tembleque
In Spanish, the word tembleque is an adjective used to describe something that shakes, or a noun to describe the shakes themselves. The dessert, due to its Jell-O-like gel texture, trembles, shivers, and shakes[9] if it has been prepared correctly.[10]
In popular culture
- Tembleque, a reggaeton song by Jon Erik, describes the movement of tembleque the dessert, and tembleque the dance move[11]
