Lucila’s Homemade was founded out of a desire to bring to America the treats Lucila grew up with in Argentina.  It is our mission to produce unique and traditional hand-crafted pastries, and make them available at gourmet grocers, specialty coffee and tea shops, farmers markets and online.

Lucila’s Homemade is currently specializing in “alfajores” (pronounced al-fa-hor-es).  Alfajores are pastries consisting of two soft and crumbly cookies sandwiched with a thick layer of “dulce de leche” (creamy caramel).

Lucila’s Homemade alfajores are handcrafted using unique artisanal techniques.  Each cookie starts with the simple ingredients of flour, sugar and cornstarch and local organic eggs and butter from farmer-owned farms.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

First, the dough is rolled out in uniform thickness, cut and baked.  Then, the alfajores are filled with delicious dulce de leche.  Finally, they are rolled in coconut (traditional) or covered in Belgian chocolate (dark or white).

Whether eaten during breakfast, as a snack or for dessert, any time is the right time to enjoy an alfajor.  Lucila’s Homemade alfajores are as much a work of art as they are an experience of the senses.One bite of the creamy caramel combined with the crumbly cookie is all it takes for you to know…it is the best treat you will ever have!
