About Milhoja de crema
Milhoja de crema, also known as mille-feuille in French cuisine, is a layered pastry dessert popular in various European and Latin American countries. This sweet treat is made by stacking layers of puff pastry, filled with rich pastry cream, and often topped with powdered sugar or icing. While its primary components—puff pastry and cream—are indulgent rather than nutrient-rich, its carbohydrate content primarily comes from refined flour, while the cream contributes fats and small amounts of protein. Milhoja de crema is high in calories due to its combination of sugars and fats, making it a dessert best enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
Health Benefits
- Provides quick energy from carbohydrates in the puff pastry.
- Offers calcium from the cream, which supports bone health.
- Contains small amounts of Vitamin A, derived from cream, supporting vision and immunity.
Dietary Considerations
Selection and Storage

Common Questions About Milhoja de crema Nutrition
Does Milhoja De Crema have a lot of calories?

Can Milhoja De Crema be eaten on a low-carb or keto diet?

Milhoja De Crema is high in sugar and saturated fats, which can contribute to weight gain and increase blood sugar levels if consumed in excess. Those with diabetes or heart conditions should eat it sparingly and monitor portion sizes closely.
What is the recommended portion size for Milhoja De Crema?
A small slice, approximately 80-100 grams, is recommended to limit sugar and calorie intake while still enjoying its flavor. Pairing it with tea or coffee can help balance out sweetness without over-indulgence.
How does Milhoja De Crema compare to similar desserts like Napoleon or Eclair?
