things people ask

• How many tablespoons fill one alfajor sandwich cookie?
  Most alfajor recipes call for 1 to 1 1/2 tablespoons per cookie, so 19-29 g of filling between the two shells. Press gently so the dulce de leche reaches the edge without squeezing out — it should sit flush, not bulge. A 397 g can fills roughly 20-26 alfajores depending on shell size, which is why most home batches are scaled around a single can.
• How much dulce de leche per serving for ice cream drizzle?
  A generous drizzle is 1 to 2 tablespoons, or 19-38 g per scoop. Warm the spoonful for ten seconds in the microwave so it ribbons rather than clumps on cold ice cream. For a sundae bar, plan on 2 tablespoons per guest plus 20 percent extra — dulce de leche is sticky enough that some always stays on the serving spoon.
• What does a tablespoon contribute in coffee or hot milk?
  One tablespoon (19 g) sweetens an 8 oz cup roughly the way 4 teaspoons of sugar would, but with caramelized milk solids that thicken the drink slightly and cut the bitterness. Stir it into the hot liquid before the milk goes in, otherwise the paste sinks and forms a sludge at the bottom of the mug. Two tablespoons crosses into dessert-drink territory.
