Liquid Alfajor

If you’ve never experienced the magic of alfajores, you’re truly missing out. These delicate sandwich cookies, filled with rich, velvety dulce de leche, are a beloved treat across South America. They’re soft, buttery, and practically melt in your mouth with every bite.

Since we love keeping things simple in the kitchen, we decided to give this classic dessert a fun and effortless twist — introducing the liquid alfajor! It captures the delicious essence of the traditional cookie, blending the creamy dulce de leche with the flavor of shortbread, all in an easy, no-bake version.

Not familiar with dulce de leche? It’s a luscious, caramel-like confection that’s smooth, sweet, and totally irresistible. You can usually find it canned in the baking aisle of your local grocery store. As for the rest of the ingredients, we’re pretty sure you already have them at home.
