Millefeuille are a pastry classic, and when combined with dulce de leche, they transform into a true delight that steals hearts.

Crispy layers of puff pastry interspersed with soft and sweet fillings make this dessert a real temptation. If you want to give an original twist to the traditional millefeuille, here I bring you the perfect recipe!

Ingredients

• 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
• Custard cream:
  • 1 1/2 cups of milk
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • a pinch of salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 3 egg yolks, beaten
  • 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 cup of dulce de leche

Preparation

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C. Unfold the puff pastry on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and prick it with a fork to prevent it from rising too much. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden and crispy. Let it cool.
2. Custard: In a saucepan, heat the milk until it is almost boiling. In another bowl, mix the sugar, salt, vanilla extract and cornstarch.
3. Slowly pour the hot milk into the dry mixture, stirring constantly.
4. Add the beaten yolks and mix well. Then, transfer everything back to the saucepan.
5. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens. Remove from the heat and add the butter, mixing well until melted and combined.
6. Cover the cream with plastic wrap, touching the surface to prevent a hard layer from forming, and refrigerate until cold.
7. Once the puff pastry is cool, cut it into three equal rectangles. On the first layer, spread a generous portion of dulce de leche. Place another layer of puff pastry and, on top of it, spread a layer of pastry cream. Finally, place the last layer of puff pastry.
8. For an extra touch, you can sprinkle powdered sugar on top.

Millefeuille with dulce de leche are a true masterpiece of sweets, where textures and flavors are mixed to create an unforgettable dessert.

Perfect for any special occasion or just to treat yourself. Go ahead and prepare them and enjoy this exquisite combination! Enjoy!
