About Alfajor dulce de leche

Alfajor Dulce de Leche is a traditional dessert from Latin American cuisine, with strong roots in Argentina and Uruguay. This indulgent treat consists of two soft, crumbly cookies made from flour, sugar, butter, and eggs, sandwiched together by a generous layer of rich, caramel-like dulce de leche. Often coated in chocolate or dusted with powdered sugar, alfajores are a favorite for their sweetness and satisfying texture. While they provide quick energy due to their carbohydrate content, they are also high in sugar and saturated fats, making them best enjoyed in moderation. Alfajores can be an occasional delight during celebrations or as a special snack, offering a glimpse into the rich, sweet traditions of Latin American gastronomy.
