Think in these little alfajores as "petites boucheés" or small bites because they are cute and delicious.
The original recipe was with Nutella, but I found it too sweet and I prefer fill with raspberry jam because is a little acid and is nice with chocolate, and voila! was amazing:))
(Although if you want can be filled with nutella if you like)
This recipe is adapted from Libro de cocina paula 2010(Santiago Chile)
Ingredients (20 alfajores)
300 grs, marzipan I bought it in candy stores or super
but if you dont find you can make
3/4 cup of raspberry jam
300 grs dark chocolate melted (semi sweet or bitter)
some raspberries to garnish
Method
To make the alfajores on a flat surface and roll the marzipan dough making sandwich between two plastic film is more easy to pass the rolling pin.
Leave of 5 mm. thick and with a pastry cutter no more than 4 cm., cut 40 circles, put them on a plate and set aside.
When ready spread one side with 1/2 teaspoon of raspberry jam and place another alfajor on top and cap.
Press lightly and bring them to the refrigerator for 1 hour.
When you are ready immerse one in the melted chocolate bath, bathe it, take it out carefully (you can use a fork to remove from chocolate) and let dry on waxed paper. Top place with raspberries.

Alfajores de mazapán con mermelada de frambuesas
Piensen en estos alfajores de mazapan como algo pequeño y delicado o sea un ¡petite bouchée!, un bocado pequeño.La receta original era con nutella o podría ser con dulce de leche pero yo quería algo más suave porque el mazapán es dulce, por eso los rellené con mermelada de frambuesa (un poquito y creanme que quedaron muy buenos:)
Si alguien quiere puede rellenarlos con nutella.
Esta receta está adaptada de un libro paula Cocina del 2010
(Santiago-Chile)
Ingredientes (20 alfajores)
300 grs. de pasta de mazapán
venden en varias partes yo usé el de Lagos del sur (falabella o Jumbo)
la pasta de mazapán tambien se puede hacer tambien en casa
ver aquí
3/4 taza de mermelada de frambuesa
300 grs. de cobertura de chocolate semi amargo
frambuesas para decorar
Preparación
Sobre una superficie lisa estirar el mazapán, ponerlo entre dos film plástico y pasarle el rodillo para estirarlo.
Dejándole de 5 mm de grosor y cortar 40 círculos con un cortapas de unos 4 cm
Sobre 20 de estos círculos colocar un poco de mermelada sobre cada uno, cubrir con otra tapita y presionar un poco, llevar a refrigerador por 1 horas.
Aparte derretir en una ollita el chocolate a baño maría,sumergir cada alfajor en el chocolate, retirar y dejar secar sobre papel mantequilla para que se enfrien. Decorar con las frambuesas. Dejar reposar hasta que el chocolate esté firme.

Hi Gloria,
ReplyDeleteThe roses on your header are just beautiful, that is one of my favorite colors. What a wonderful treat to have with my afternoon tea. This is a great recipe! Hope you are having a great holiday week end. Thank you so much for sharing with Full Plate Thursday and hope you will come back soon!
Miz Helen
Well, now that header photo is making me miss spring and summer! Your roses are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI think I would like these better with raspberry jam instead of nutella, too! I love fruit and chocolate together! And they are so pretty! Wish you lived close! :)
Gloria, have to also say that I clicked on the link to your twins' birthday cake. I loved reading the little story about how you adopted them and have had them since they were three days old. That is such a wonderful thing. I SO admire parents who adopt. They are extra special people. ;) And I didn't realize your twins were 17...so close in age to my triplets! :)
ReplyDeleteVery delicious!
ReplyDeleteI agree, Gloria - Raspberry Filling is a great choice!
ReplyDeleteyour marzipan alfajores look so sinful but so delicious! Anything with chocolates I can't resist! Hope you have a wonderful weekend Gloria:)
ReplyDeleteI've always loved raspberry with chocolate, Gloria. A perfect choice with these gems!
ReplyDeleteI love the rapsberry-chocolate combo!!!Se ven deliciosos,Gloria!

These look really cute Gloria. I love marzipan so I know I'd adore these, but I think I'm with you on jam over nutella.
ReplyDeleteUnos alfajores muy, pero muy ricos. Me gustan con la mermelada de frambuesa, creo que con Nutella quedarían demasiado empalagosos.
ReplyDeleteUn abrazo amiga, y que tengas una buena semana.
They look lovely and delicious :), Miriam@Meatless Meals For Meat Eaters
ReplyDeleteRaspberries and marzipan are two of my favourite things! I thought I would see the alfajores with dulce de leche, which I also love, but these are amazing too!
ReplyDeleteraspberry and almond are nice together, and throwing chocolate in the mix only improves things--terrific treats, gloria!
