*Alfajores (Nicole Shankarappa)
-
Alfajores (AL-fa-HO-res) are soft, delicate cookies from South America. The cookies themselves are only mildly sweet, which is perfectly acceptable because they are sandwiched with a milk caramel called Dulce de Leche. The crumbly texture of the cookies contrasts with the smooth and creamy Dulce de Leche.

If you dream of getting away to a sandy beach in the Caribbean, this cake sings “Come with me and escape!”
