Milhojas de dulce de leche

This Argentinian dessert combines layers of crispy puff pastry with dulce de leche. The layers are occasionally coated with crème pâtissière, while the top is sometimes decorated with Italian meringue. It is believed that the cake was modeled on mille-feuille – a classic French dessert consisting of thin layers of pastry and cocoa, almond, or vanilla icing. Apart from Argentina, similar milhojas varieties are also enjoyed in other South American countries.
