Cinco de Mayo is two days away, I'll be celebrating Mexican heritage and pride at an engagement party for one of my DC besties and her fiance.
I'm definitely making my own dulce de leche and I think I'll add an additional step, coating the cookies in chocolate:
1 lb bittersweet chocolate, chopped
1 pint heavy cream
I'm looking for an excuse to test BEB's recipe for Alfajores...this seems like a great one. Hopefully they'll be as yummy as they look:
1 lb bittersweet chocolate, chopped
1 pint heavy cream
Put the chocolate in a small, deep, heatproof bowl. In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, bring the cream just to a boil. Pour over the chocolate and let sit for 10 minutes. Stir the mixture very gently, incorporating the cream steadily and without overworking, until glossy and completely mixed.
Line 2 cookie sheets or rimmed baking sheets with parchment. Pick up a sandwich cookie with a small offset spatula. Immerse in the chocolate mixture, flipping the cookie to coat completely. Pick up with the spatula and tap a couple of times on the side of the bowl to get rid of excess chocolate. With another spatula in the opposite hand, gently smooth out the top of the cookie and then run the spatula along the bottom. Transfer to the parchment-lined sheet. Repeat with the remaining cookies. Allow the coating to set at room temperature for a few hours and then serve.
Sooo looking forward to this project. I'll keep you updated
Hugs and kisses peeps,
Bethany
