Ingredients
- 1 roll Puff pastry store-bought or homemade
- 1 cup Dulce de leche store-bought or homemade
- to taste Powdered sugar for dusting
- optional Fresh fruit e.g., strawberries, kiwis, mangoes
Instructions
- Preheat the oven and prepare your puff pastry by rolling it out thin and cutting it into rectangles.
- Prick the dough with a fork before baking to prevent excessive puffing.
- Bake the puff pastry rectangles until golden brown, then let them cool completely.
- Prepare the dulce de leche if making it from scratch, ensuring it's creamy.
- Once the pastry is cooled, spread a layer of dulce de leche evenly over a piece of pastry.
- Stack another pastry layer on top and repeat the process, adding dulce de leche between the layers.
- Once assembled, chill the cake in the fridge for about 30 minutes to set.
- Before serving, dust the top with powdered sugar or drizzle with chocolate sauce if desired.
- Slice and serve, optionally garnished with fresh fruits.
Notes
Feel free to experiment with a variety of fillings; fruits like berries add freshness and balance to the sweetness of dulce de leche. For an alternative twist, consider substituting dulce de leche with Nutella. Storing milhojas cake works best in the refrigerator, but it's best enjoyed within 1-2 days for optimal texture. Let it come to room temperature before serving for the best taste.
