How to make Milhojas de Dulce de Leche
Prepare the Puff Pastry
- Step 1
Remove the puff pastry from the refrigerator about 10 minutes before using it. Roll out the pastry very thin and cut out 20 cm (8-inch) diameter circles.
Bake the Pastry
- Step 1
Place the puff pastry circles on a baking sheet, prick them with a fork, and sprinkle them lightly with powdered sugar.
- Step 2
Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 5 minutes. Once all the puff pastry circles are baked, remove them from the oven and set aside.
Whip the Cream
- Step 1
Whip the heavy cream with the 150 g (5.3 oz) of sugar until it reaches stiff peaks (chantilly consistency).
Assemble the Dessert
- Step 1
On a large serving platter or plate, place one puff pastry circle. Spread it with dulce de leche, then a layer of whipped cream.
- Step 2
Add another puff pastry circle on top, and repeat the process—dulce de leche, whipped cream, and puff pastry—until all the ingredients are used.
