Queso Helado
Arequipa's beloved frozen dessert — named 'frozen cheese' not for its ingredients but because it's traditionally served in slices and blocks that resemble fresh cheese. Made from milk, coconut, and cinnamon, hand-churned in a copper pot set in ice and salt. Refreshing, aromatic, and unmistakably Andean.
