Borrowed from a fellow foodie from Panama, who "borrowed" it from his family, who borrowed it from heaven only knows. Vanilla wafers are an American invention, so we can come to the conclusion that this pie may have American origins. But it's execution is definitely Latin/Panamanian - simple to make, with bold flavors. Even the most novice baker can make this.

Susie Wingert from Panama, Iowa, shares this recipe for chewy treats big on taste but needing little effort. "They are handy to make when the weather is hot," she comments, "since the oven never has to be turned on."
Cool, refreshing drink with a milk base that is a common drink in Latin America, namely Panama. Can be made with almost any type of meaty fruit. Any type of fruit can be used in place of the papaya, such as cantaloupe or peaches. Serve immediately or store in refrigerator. If stored, be sure to stir before serving. Enjoy!
This rich dessert is not pudding in the American sense of the word. The moist, spiced cake is loaded with mincemeat and toasted walnuts, drizzled with warm buttery toffee sauce. We like our sticky toffee pudding steaming or at room temperature. —Denise Nyland, Panama City, Florida
