Quick and Easy Dulce de Leche Puff Pastry Squares

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Quick and Easy Dulce de Leche Puff Pastry Squares.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 400°F (200°C) and get two baking sheets ready by lining them with parchment paper.

2. Step 2

   Next, on a lightly floured surface, gently roll out your thawed puff pastry until it’s nice and even.

3. Step 3

   Cut the pastry into delightful 1 1/2-inch squares and arrange them on your prepared baking sheets, leaving a little space between each one for them to puff up beautifully.

4. Step 4

   Pop the baking sheets into your preheated oven and let the pastry squares bake for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until they turn a lovely golden brown and become irresistibly crispy.

5. Step 5

   Once they’re done, carefully transfer the squares to a wire rack and let them cool for about 5 minutes—this is the perfect time to savor the delicious aroma wafting through your kitchen.

6. Step 6

   After they’ve cooled slightly, take each square and slice it in half, creating a perfect little pocket for your filling.

7. Step 7

   Now comes the fun part! Spread about 2 tablespoons of rich, creamy dulce de leche on one half of each puff pastry square, then gently place the other half on top, creating a delightful sandwich.

8. Step 8

   To finish off this sweet treat, dust the assembled squares with a light sprinkle of confectioners' sugar, adding a touch of elegance.

   Serve these delightful pastries to your friends and family, and watch their faces light up with joy!.
