This dulce de leche roulade is my go to dessert when I want something that looks fancy but doesn't require hours in the kitchen. The whole thing comes together in just 45 minutes, and honestly, most of that is just baking time. I love using puff pastry as my base because it's so forgiving and creates that beautiful crispy texture without any fuss. The creamy dulce de leche filling paired with whipped cream is absolutely divine, and eggs in the custard layer give you some protein to feel a little less guilty about indulging. Trust me, your family will think you spent all day on this when really you'll have had time to put your feet up.

Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Roll out the puff pastry dough to a thickness of 3 mm. Cut into rectangles approximately 20 cm x 10 cm.
Tip: Use a ruler to ensure even rectangles.

In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, and salt. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves.
Tip: Avoid stirring too vigorously, as this can cause the sugar to crystallize.

Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the sugar mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the mixture reaches 115°C on a candy thermometer.
Tip: Be careful not to burn the sugar.

Remove the saucepan from the heat and carefully whisk in the heavy cream and vanilla extract. The mixture will bubble vigorously, so be cautious.

Let the dulce de leche cool slightly, then stir in the dulce de leche until well combined.
Tip: This will help the filling set.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and a pinch of salt until light and frothy.

Pour the egg mixture over the cooled dulce de leche and whisk until well combined.
Tip: This will help the filling set.

To assemble the roulade, spread a thin layer of dulce de leche on one half of each rectangle, leaving a 1 cm border around the edges.
Tip: This will help the filling stay in place.

Place the other half of the rectangle on top of the filling, pressing gently to seal.
Tip: Use a fork to crimp the edges and create a decorative border.

Repeat the process with the remaining puff pastry dough and dulce de leche filling.

Bake the roulades for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
