Ingredients

  • 2 Puff pastry sheets
  • 56 oz sour cherries in syrup (juice drained)
  • 13 oz dulce de Leche
  • 2 cups heavy whipped cream very cold

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Roll out your puff pastry. Slice into 3-inch wide strips.
  2. Drain the syrup out of the cherries. Place cherries tightly next to each other on the piece of dough. Pinch the edges together to seal the cherries inside, making sure that none of the juice seeps out.
  3. Line two 8-inch baking pans with parchment paper. Wind the pieces of dough around one another, spiraling until you get a circular cake.
  4. Bake at 400°F for 25 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown. If the cherries come out, that's fine, they will eventually be covered by cream. Remove the cake from the baking pan and let it cool on a wire rack.
  5. Place dulce de leche into a mixing bowl and add very cold heavy cream. Beat on medium-high until you get stiff peaks.
  6. Place a bit of cream on your serving plate. Top with first cake layer.
  7. Add more cream and spread it evenly. Top it off with a second layer.
  8. Decorate the cake with remaining cream and leftover cherries as you like. Place the cake in a sealed container and let it set in a fridge overnight.
