TRADITIONAL DESSERTS from AROUND the WORLD
Argentina: Alfajores
Alfajores
This Latin American treat is a popular dessert in Argentina. It’s simply dulce de leche filling sandwiched between two shortbread cookies.
The word Alfajor comes from the Arabic word for “honeycomb.” The cookies are often served with coffee and traditionally dipped in chocolate, though “snow Alfajores” are dipped in powdered sugar and coconut.
