DULCE DE LECHE TORTE (_VOLADOR_)



Dulce de Leche Torte (_Volador_) image

This layered dessert gets its name, _volador_, from the way the edges of the pastry "fly up" as they bake. The combination of thin, crackly pastry with creamy _dulce de leche_ is unbeatable in its simplicity. Don't worry if the torte doesn’t slice neatly-it's meant to be an informal dessert, the kind that invites guests to swipe crumbs from the serving platter and dip them into stray puddles of _dulce de leche_. It's too good to let a single bite go to waste.

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

12 large egg yolks
1 teaspoon whole milk
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups dulce de leche
3 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon confectioners sugar
Accompaniment: naranjilla ice cream or vanilla ice cream

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F with rack in middle. Generously brush a large baking sheet with vegetable oil.
  • Stir together yolks, milk, and salt.
  • Put flour in a large bowl and make a well in center. Add yolk mixture to well and gently stir with a fork, gradually pulling in flour closest to egg mixture to make a paste. Knead in all of remaining flour with your hands to form a dough (dough will be very firm).
  • Transfer dough to a work surface and knead, lightly dusting with additional flour as necessary, until smooth and elastic, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Flatten dough into a disk, then quarter and form each quarter into a ball.
  • Keeping remaining dough covered with a kitchen towel (not terry cloth), firmly roll out 1 piece on a clean surface into a 12-inch round, lifting and turning dough as necessary. (Dough will be slightly sticky but will lift up easily; round will be very thin with uneven edges.)
  • Transfer to baking sheet and bake until edge is golden and curls up, about 5 minutes. Carefully turn over and bake until cooked through and both sides are golden in some spots (lift to check), 3 to 4 minutes more. Transfer to a rack to cool.
  • Repeat with remaining dough. (Pastry will overlap on racks.)
  • Stir together dulce de leche and water in a bowl. If mixture is not spreadable, warm in a small heavy saucepan over medium-low heat, whisking until smooth. Thin with additional water if necessary.
  • Arrange 1 pastry layer on a serving plate and spread evenly with 2/3 cup filling. Repeat with 2 more pastry layers and remaining filling, stacking layers.
  • Dust remaining pastry layer with confectioners sugar and arrange on top.
  • To serve, cut or crack torte into portions using 2 large spoons.

Time 6h5m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 1

1 can sweetened condensed milk

Steps:

  • Use a can opener to poke 2 small holes in the top of can.
  • Fill a small pot with 4 inches of water. Place can in water, then add or remove water so that the top of the can sits 1/4-inch above the waterline. Bring water to a simmer and let simmer for 6 hours. Top off water occasionally so that it remains at the same basic level. Don't worry if a small amount of the can's contents bubble up and cloud the water during the simmering process.
  • Let can cool, then open and skim off top 1/4-inch of condensed milk. What remains below should be a thick creamy, delicious caramel sauce. Serve with fresh fruit such as bananas, berries, star fruit, etc.

DULCE DE LECHE

There are several ways to make this sweet, caramel spread. Some traditionalists favor boiling an unopened can of sweetened condensed milk on the stovetop. If you go this route, make sure there is always enough water circulating around the can. Others prefer the ease of the oven method, which is slightly faster, too.

Time 4h5m

Yield about 1 1/4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 1

One 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk, unopened

Steps:

  • For the stovetop method: Remove the label from the can of sweetened condensed milk. Place 3 to 4 forks upside down on the bottom of a large 6- to 8-quart pot. Place the unopened can on top of the forks and cover with water by a few inches. (The forks help to prevent a vacuum between the bottom of the can and the pot.) Place the pot over high heat until it reaches a simmer, then lower the heat to medium-low or low to maintain a steady simmer for about 3 hours. Add more water to the pot if necessary to ensure that the can is submerged at all times. Let the can cool to room temperature in the water before removing. Open the can and scoop out the contents. The dulce de leche should be dark and caramelized.
  • For the oven method: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Place a shallow baking dish in a roasting pan. Pour the sweetened condensed milk into the baking dish and cover the dish with foil. Transfer the roasting pan to the oven and add enough hot water to reach halfway up the sides of the baking dish. Bake until the dulce de leche is dark and caramelized, 60 to 75 minutes, checking the water level occasionally and adding more if needed. Let cool, then whisk until smooth.
  • Transfer the dulce de leche to an airtight container, put plastic wrap directly on the surface and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
