Prepare Dulce de Leche
Submerge a can of condensed milk in a pot of water and boil for 3 hours. Ensure the can remain fully submerged at all times. Cool completely before use.
-
Make the Dough
Beat butter, sugar, lime zest, vanilla, and salt until creamy. Mix in the egg yolks. Add cocoa powder, flour, corn flour, and baking powder. Knead into a cohesive dough, wrap in plastic, and chill for at least 1 hour.
-
Roll and Cut the Cookies
Preheat your oven to 175°C. Line baking trays with parchment paper. Roll out the dough on a floured surface to 4–5 mm thickness. Work with small portions to avoid tearing. Cut out rounds (4–5 cm in diameter) and place them on the prepared tray.
-
Bake
Bake for 12 minutes until the edges are light golden brown. Cool completely on a wire rack.
-
Fill with the dulce de leche
Pipe a dollop of dulce de leche onto half of the cookies.

Assemble the Alfajores
Sandwich them with the remaining cookies. Roll the sides in grated coconut for the perfect finish.

Super good!
Deliciously rich and creamy! These Alfajores are a real treat, and I love that the cocoa is ethically sourced
These chocolate Alfajores are rich, creamy, and delicious. The coconut topping adds the perfect touch of sweetness
While these Alfajores offer a delightful balance of chocolate and caramel, they could benefit from a slightly softer texture for an even more melt-in-your-mouth experience
These Alfajores were rich and delicious! The dulce de leche was creamy, but I wish the cookies were softer
