How to Make Alfajor

butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Coconut oil is dairy-free and adds a subtle flavor.

dulce de leche

🥗Healthier: caramel sauce

💰Cheaper: sweetened condensed milk

Caramel sauce can be lighter and easier to find.

dark chocolate

🥗Healthier: dark chocolate chips

💰Cheaper: milk chocolate

Milk chocolate is often less expensive but sweeter.

all-purpose flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: cake flour

Whole wheat flour adds fiber and nutrients.

Melt the chocolate in a bowl using a Bane Marie until it reaches a pourable consistency.

Optionally, warm up the dulce de leche in a pan or use it directly from the pot.

Mix the melted chocolate until smooth.

If desired, add vanilla extract to the chocolate for extra sweetness.

Layer the ingredients: place a milk biscuit, then dulce de leche, another milk biscuit, more dulce de leche, and finish with a final milk biscuit.

Dunk the layered structure into the melted chocolate until fully coated.

Place the chocolate-coated structure in the fridge for about 40 minutes or until the chocolate hardens.
