How to make triple Alfajores:
- To start preparing this delicious recipe for triple alfajores, cream the butter with the sugar. This involves beating both ingredients until the sugar is dissolved.
- Incorporate and integrate the ingredients: the essence of vanilla, the zest of half an orange, honey and the egg.
- Then, add the dry ingredients(flour, cornstarch, cocoa, baking soda, and powder) by sifting them through a fine strainer or sieve. Mix with a spatula until you get a smooth alfajores dough.
- Trick: we recommend not handling the dough with your hands, since you will transmit heat to it and it will be more difficult for you to maneuver.
- Take the dough to a film or separator and cover it with another to be able to stretch it without sticking.
- With the help of a round cutter, cut the tops of your Argentine alfajores. You can rearm the bun and stretch it as many times as necessary to use all the dough, always stretching it with the two separators or film.
- If it is difficult for you to remove the lids from the film, you can take it to the fridge or freezer for a few minutes so that the butter takes on more body. Take them to a plate with butter and flour.
- Cook them in a medium strong oven at 180ºC for approximately 7 to 10 minutes. Do not overcook them to maintain their moisture.
- Once the lids of your triple alfajores are cooked, take them to a rack to cool.
- Once cold, spread 1 of the lids with the dulce de leche, you must take into account that the base must be facing down.
- Place another lid and spread this also with dulce de leche. Add one last lid, taking care that the base is also facing down and set it aside. The triple alfajores are almost here!
- Once you have your handmade alfajores ready, melt the bath chocolate and cover them with it.
- To melt it, you can use the microwave heating it for approximately 30 seconds and stirring each time or you can also melt it in a bain-marie.
- In this case, boil water in a container. On it, have another container that does not come into contact with the water and that contains the chocolate.
