There isn't a "national dessert", as Mexican cuisine varies from region to region. As for desserts, Mexico has a huge variety of them: cacao has been cultivated in Mexico for at least three millenia. When mixed with sugar, chocolate (Aztec: xocolatl, Maya: chocolha) is elaborated. Crystallized fruit is also common, and many traditional Mexican candies such as cocadas (made of milk and coconut), mueganos (popcorn with caramelized sugar) and alegrias (candies made of amaranth seed and bee honey) are popular.
