INGREDIENTS
500 g of flour
350 gr of butter
80 ml milk
3 ml apple cider vinegar
400 gr of dulce de leche
400 ml whipping cream
2 ml vanilla
50 g of icing sugar
250 g raspberries
400 gr of pastry cream
INSTRUCTIONS
1. In a bowl add the flour, butter, milk and apple cider vinegar, form a smooth and elastic dough.
2. Stretch pieces of dough on the floured counter. The dough should be 0.2 cm. approximately. Shape into a round and prick with a fork. Bake at 180ºC for 8-10 minutes. Repeat process until completing 10 sheets.
3. The leaves should be browned on the edges.
4. Be careful with handling as they break easily.
5. If possible, the circular shape should be given on parchment paper or waxed paper, to prevent the figure from being deformed and all the leaves being the same size.
6. In a bowl add the cream, sugar and vanilla. Beat until you obtain a firm consistency.
7. Fill with pastry cream, dulce de leche, raspberries and chantilly cream.
8. Raspberries can be frozen or fresh. In this recipe we use them without adding sugar or sweeteners, to preserve the acidity of the raspberry. To sweeten the raspberry, it is recommended to heat the fruit over medium heat, adding sugar to taste. Once ready, let cool completely before using as a filling in the cake.
9. We use instant pastry cream, it comes in powder and is usually prepared with cold milk. If you use homemade pastry cream, it must be cold when used as a filling.
10. Cover with chantilly cream. Decorate with leaf litter crumbs and raspberries to taste.
