Thaw sheets- This is so important! You want to make sure the sheets are completely thawed, it’s best to thaw them in the fridge overnight. Prep baking sheet- Preheat oven and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.Roll out the sheets- Unpack the pastry sheets and cut them into 3 equal parts where indented from the crease. Leave two strips out cover and refrigerate the remaining strips. Roll each strip into 6”x10” strips. (Note: If you have a baking sheet that is large enough to fit 3 rectangles, bake three at a time. Bake- Transfer the strips to a baking sheet, and bake two sheets at a time. While these two are working, work on the next two.
In a large bowl beat the whipping cream until stiff peaks form and refrigerate.In a separate bowl, add the butter and beat until creamy, about 2 minutes.Add half of the dulce de leche and on the low-speed mix until combined.Add remaining dulce de leche and mix again until fully incorporated.Fold the whipped cream into the butter mixture.
Trim edges- Trip off any unstraight edges.Cream bottom- Add a layer to your platter and coat it with cream.Repeat with layers- Repeat with all 5 layers.Crush for topping- the sixth layer with leftover crumbs to add to the top and sides of the cake.Fridge- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours and enjoy. The cake is best if served at room temp.
