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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). If necessary, lightly grease baking trays with unsalted butter or use parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Remove the baked puff pastry sheets from the oven and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Top with the final sheet of puff pastry. Dust the top generously with powdered sugar for garnish.

Step 8

Chill the assembled milhojas in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours to set before slicing and serving.

Step 9

Slice carefully with a sharp knife to create clean layers. Serve as a dessert or with coffee.
