Teja

Tejas are exquisite, dumpling-shaped confections originating from Peru's Ica Region. These delectable sweets are typically filled with manjar blanco, a luscious caramel spread, and often incorporate dried fruits or nuts for enhanced texture and flavor. Traditionally, tejas are enveloped in a sugar-based, fondant-like shell, but you can also find delightful variations featuring a rich chocolate coating.
