Alfajores from Mar del Plata

January 3, 2015 por Carolina Leave a Comment

Jump to Recipe

I was very much pending to publish this recipe, so I finally bring it to you today, because I know that the sugar-lovers will enjoy it. I remember several years ago myself making alfajores very similar to these, but I couldn’t find the recipe, until I saw it a couple of years ago on the blog of Kako, En Guete!!!, where she made a cake with this recipe that looks delicious. I wanted to make the classic alfajor instead. I took the opportunity to use some white chocolate I had, to cover some of the alfajores, besides of using it for the typical icing.

  10. Prepare the chocolate by melting the chips in bain-marie (double boiler) and adding a little of heavy whipping cream to it.
