Anzac Aflajores

For Anzac day I made Anzac biscuits. Luckily the south of Salta province and it's neighbours are big sugar cane districts so there is a local product that resembles Golden Syrup called Miel de Caña. It's not quite as sweet but they're still pretty tasty and people seem to like them when I make them.
Alfajores are a classic Argentine biscuit you can find all over the place. They are a sandwich of two biscuits, usually with the ubiquitous Dulce de Leche in the middle that is then covered in chocolate. Dulce de Leche is caramelised milk spread and is a major Argentine obsession, but more on that another time.
Around the time of Anzac Day Tom found a great recipe for fat free bananas that consists of frozen bananas that you mush in the blender.
In a cross cultural moment I came up with a desert of Anzac biscuit and banana ice cream sandwiches - the Anzac alfajor.
