Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 sheets Puff pastry sheets
- 500 grams Dulce de leche
- 200 milliliters Heavy cream
- 50 grams Powdered sugar
- 10 grams Unsalted butter (optional, for greasing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). If necessary, lightly grease baking trays with unsalted butter or use parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface if they're not pre-rolled. Prick each sheet with a fork to prevent excessive puffing during baking.
Place the puff pastry sheets on the prepared baking trays and bake them in the preheated oven for about 18-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and fully crispy. Monitor closely to avoid burning.
Remove the baked puff pastry sheets from the oven and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack.
While the puff pastry cools, prepare the filling by whipping the heavy cream to soft peaks using a hand or stand mixer. Gently fold the whipped cream into the dulce de leche to create a smooth and airy filling.
Once the puff pastry is completely cool, begin assembling the milhojas. Place one sheet of puff pastry on a serving tray. Spread an even layer of the dulce de leche mixture over the top. Repeat this process with the second layer of puff pastry and filling.
Top with the final sheet of puff pastry. Dust the top generously with powdered sugar for garnish.
Chill the assembled milhojas in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours to set before slicing and serving.
Slice carefully with a sharp knife to create clean layers. Serve as a dessert or with coffee.
