Oblea

Oblea is a type of wafer dessert commonly found in several Latin American countries, particularly in Colombia. It typically consists of two thin, round wafers filled with sweet ingredients. The most common filling is arequipe (a form of caramelized milk), although other fillings may include jam, cheese, fruits, whipped cream, or combinations thereof. Additional toppings such as condensed milk, chocolate, coconut, or fruit sauces are also frequently used. Obleas are usually prepared by pressing batter between two heated plates, similar to the method used for making waffles, resulting in thin and crisp wafers. Similar wafer-based confections exist in various European countries. In Germany, for example, wafers are often thin, unleavened biscuits with a sweet filling.
