repión

Repión is a traditional Chilean dessert made from crispy cookies called mantecollos, typically served with a sweet and creamy sauce. The mantecollos usually consist of ground wheat flour, sugar, and butter, while the sauce is prepared with heavy cream, sugar, and a flavoring ingredient such as vanilla or anise.

The resulting dessert is a crunchy base topped by a thick, sweet sauce, often leading to a delightful texture contrast when enjoyed. Repión's ingredients and preparation methods vary across different regions in Chile, with some recipes featuring caramelized sugar, coffee, or other flavorings.

Repión is sometimes described as a Chilean take on the international dessert apple crisp or à la mode, albeit with distinct local flavor influences and tastes. The dish is typically served in households and at local cafes or restaurants throughout Chile.
