Ingredients

  • 100g corn flour
  • 250ml almond milk
  • 15g cocoa powder
  • 75g sugar
  • 1 tbsp agave syrup
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup dulce de leche
  • 1/2 cup strawberries, sliced
  • 1/2 cup toasted coconut flakes
  • Chocolate sauce for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Begin by preparing the marquesita batter. In a blender, combine corn flour, almond milk, cocoa powder, sugar, agave syrup, salt, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and creamy. Strain the mixture into a bowl to remove any lumps. Set aside to rest for 15 minutes. Heat a non stick pan over medium heat. Pour in enough batter to create a thin layer, roughly the size of your palm. Cook until golden brown and crispy, about 2 3 minutes. Flip and cook the other side for another 1 2 minutes. Repeat this process to make two marquesitas. Layer one marquesita with dulce de leche and strawberries. Roll up tightly, then drizzle with chocolate sauce and sprinkle with toasted coconut flakes. Place on a plate for serving. Repeat for the second marquesita.
