La Casa ALFAJORES specializes in handcrafted ALFAJORES and other delights filled with homemade dulce de leche. Our mission is to spoil New Zealand with one of Argentina's best kept secrets! Alfajores are sweet treats that have been present since colonial times in South America. Alfajores are sweet treats that have been present since colonial times all over Latin America. Each country has a different way of preparing them, but the concept is the same: two cookies filled with some kind of caramel or jam. The Argentine twist on the ancient Arab dessert, alaju, this portable treat became popular in the mid-19th century in Argentina. An alfajor is a perfect blend of candy and food: It is a treat that can be eaten as snack, dessert, or with coffee or tea due to the texture, ingredients and size. Mini alfajores are excellent treats to be served in high teas and finger food parties. It is a perfect gift for different occasions: We produce CHOCOLATE & MAIZENA ALFAJORES using an authentic Argentine recipe and the ingredients except for the chocolate sourced locally. La Casa ALFAJORES come in gift boxes (3-pack) and per unit in a gift bag with a ribbon. Custom orders available for mini alfajores. ALFAJORES DE CHOCOLATE are two delicate cocoa biscuits (cake-like cookies) sandwiched together by a layer of dulce de leche, a creamy caramel confection made from milk and sugar and hand dipped entirely in dark or white chocolate. ALFAJORES DE MAIZENA corn starch is used together with flour to give the biscuits a lighter and fluffier texture than a typical shortbread cookie. Two of these biscuits are sandwiched with dulce de leche filling and rolled in coconut. That lightness still captures the cookie's buttery flavour, and together with dulce de leche, they will melt in your mouth. CONITOS LA CASA T ruly decadent treats made of a cocoa biscuit, topped with a cone of dulce de leche surrounding a maraschino cherry & covered in dark chocolate. CLASSIC CONITOS The same decadent treats made of a cocoa biscuit, and only topped with creamy dulce de leche and covered in dark chocolate.
