Tejas are delicious sweets that come to us with a layer of fondant, wrapped in eye-catching white or metallic papers of various colors, with, in the past, the edges made into strips for a pleasing artisanal presentation. Tejas are the emblematic sweets of the Ica Region, and the most popular ones are made with orange, grapefruit, pecan, lemon, and filled with Manjarblanco (Dulce de Leche / Milk Caramel).
