Wafer Sandwiches with Caramel
Obleas con Arequipe is listed in Street Food for Bogotá / Cundiboyacense. Follow the verified ingredients and numbered instructions below.
Warm the arequipe slightly only if it is too firm to spread.
Lay one wafer flat and spread it gently with 2–3 tablespoons arequipe, keeping a narrow border.
Add a thin layer of jam or one of the other optional toppings.
Cover with a second wafer and press lightly so the filling reaches the edges without cracking the wafers.
Serve immediately; assembled obleas soften as they sit.
