Delicious Homemade Alfajor Filled with Dulce de Leche

O Que Você Precisa Saber

- O repouso da massa na geladeira por 15 minutos firma a manteiga e impede que os discos deformem ao abrir com o rolo. - O ponto de forno de 15 minutos a 180°C deve dourar apenas a base, mantendo o topo dos biscoitos claro e macio. - O banho completo em chocolate meio amargo derretido sela a umidade interna do doce de leite.

Chef Tips

- Roll out the dough between two sheets of plastic wrap to avoid using too much flour and preserve the softness of the discs. - Apply the dulce de leche with a piping bag in the center of the cookie and press the top to spread evenly. - Rest dipped alfajores on parchment paper so they set without sticking to the work surface.

Variations

- Cornstarch Alfajor: roll the dulce de leche-filled edges in finely shredded coconut without dipping in chocolate. - Alfajor with ganache: replace the dulce de leche with firm dark chocolate ganache flavored with rum. - Coffee alfajor: add a teaspoon of instant coffee dissolved in the butter during the cream stage.

Substitutions

- Metade da farinha de trigo pode ser substituída por amido de milho para obter uma massa com textura ainda mais quebradiça. - O chocolate meio amargo da cobertura pode ser trocado por chocolate branco ou raspas de coco nas laterais. - A manteiga sem sal pode ser substituída por margarina culinária com 80% de lipídios.

How to Store

Store the dipped alfajores in an airtight container lined with parchment paper in a cool, airy place for up to 10 days. Keep away from direct heat to prevent the chocolate shell from melting and losing its shine.

Can You Freeze It?

They can be frozen already dipped in chocolate and wrapped individually in aluminum foil for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge for 2 hours before serving at room temperature to preserve the crust.

What to Serve With

Pairs very well with full-bodied espresso, cappuccino with cinnamon, or unsweetened Earl Grey black tea. At festive gatherings, they make up a table of fine sweets with an elegant and refined look.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why did the dough shrink or break when opened with the rolling pin?

If the dough is handled hot or kneaded too much, it develops gluten; let cool for 15 minutes in the refrigerator and open delicately.

What is the ideal consistency of dulce de leche so it doesn't leak?

Use firm dulce de leche for cutting or pastry-grade; very fluid sweets run and make chocolate dipping difficult.

Como temperar ou derreter o chocolate para a casquinha ficar firme?

Derreta em banho-maria ou micro-ondas em potência média até 45°C e mexa até esfriar a 31°C para formar casca crocante e brilhante.

Can I keep the alfajores in the refrigerator?

It is recommended to store in a cool place outside the refrigerator; intense cold can leave the chocolate opaque and with whitish spots.
