For many, carlota de limón is a nostalgic flavor of their childhood. We’re excited for this opportunity to share this recipe, which is near and dear to our Mexico program staff.
In our Mexico children’s program, our two amazing cooks prepare meals 7 days a week for children. If you’ve ever been blessed with the opportunity to visit, you know they do their jobs joyfully, with inviting smiles and hearts. Both women have had children in the program, and their families have absolutely flourished through the years.
Connect with our Mexico program by making this deliciously sweet and tart dessert at home. Carlota de limón is very easy to make! There are few supplies and ingredients needed and you don’t even need to cook it.

Though generally joy-filled, one of the difficult aspects of the Christian life are the troubles we encounter in the midst of following and trusting God. Jesus and the apostles tell us in God’s Word that this will be a common experience for us, and it raises the question of how
“Don’t Worry – Be Happy.” It sounds cliché and is easier said than done. Especially when we’re in the midst of something we feel is robbing us of our joy.

Comfort lives with her parents and brother in a two-bedroom mud house roofed with sheet material through the support of Create Hope. There is access to electricity in the community but Comfort’s family cannot afford it. They have no access to potable water. Water is fetched from a local dam until it dries up, then the village women and girls must travel long distances to find other sources.
Comfort is from a Christian family. Her father is a local security guard who earns less than $10 a month. Her mother is a housewife. Her parents find it difficult to provide food and sometimes the family goes for days without. They also struggle to buy clothes and pay for school fees for their children. Joining Create Hope has enabled Comfort to stay in school and have more consistent food.
