About Dulce de leche empanada

Dulce de Leche Empanadas are a sweet and indulgent treat often associated with Latin American cuisine, particularly Argentina. These delectable pastries consist of a soft, flaky dough filled with rich dulce de leche, a caramel-like confection made by slowly heating sweetened milk until it thickens and turns golden brown. While their origins lie in traditional Latin American desserts, empanadas are now enjoyed worldwide for their irresistible balance of texture and flavor. Nutritionally, they are high in sugars and fats due to the dulce de leche and buttery pastry, making them a calorie-dense confection best enjoyed in moderation. However, the dough commonly provides carbohydrates for energy, while the milk-based dulce de leche offers a small amount of calcium. A popular pairing with coffee or tea, Dulce de Leche Empanadas serve as a delightful occasional indulgence rather than a dietary staple.
