Preparation time: 30 minutes
Baking time: 20 minutes
Total time: 6 hours and 30 minutes (including cooling)
Number of servings: 12

The ingredients you need are as follows:

For the layers:
- 2 fresh eggs
- 10 tablespoons of milk
- 8 tablespoons of oil (choose a neutral-tasting oil, such as sunflower oil)
- 8 tablespoons of sugar
- 1 teaspoon of ammonia quenched with lemon juice (this will help achieve fluffier layers)
- 300 g of flour (preferably type 000 flour for a finer texture)

For the cream:
- 1 liter of milk
- 6 tablespoons of sugar
- 5 tablespoons of cornstarch (this will thicken the cream, giving it a velvety texture)
- 150 g of butter (it is recommended to be at room temperature for easy incorporation)

Preparing the dessert with layers and caramel cream:

1. Preparing the layers:
Start by beating the eggs with the sugar in a large bowl using a whisk or mixer. Continue mixing until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture becomes frothy. Add the milk and oil, mixing well to incorporate.

2. Add the dry ingredients:
In another bowl, combine the flour and the ammonia quenched with lemon juice. While mixing, gradually add the flour mixture to the wet composition, kneading until you obtain an elastic and tender dough. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour.

3. Cooling the dough:
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes. This step is essential to make the dough easier to roll out.

4. Baking the layers:
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Divide the dough into 3 equal parts and roll out each portion on a floured surface. Bake the layers on the back of a tray for about 8-10 minutes, or until they turn slightly golden. If the layers are a bit more bronzed, don't worry – every detail adds a unique character to the dessert!

5. Preparing the cream:
In a saucepan, add 200 ml of milk and mix the cornstarch until completely dissolved. In another saucepan, caramelize 6 tablespoons of sugar until golden. Carefully extinguish the caramel with the remaining 800 ml of milk, stirring continuously to prevent lumps from forming.

6. Thickening the cream:
Let the mixture simmer gently until the sugar is completely dissolved, then add the cornstarch mixture in a thin stream, stirring vigorously. Continue to stir until the cream thickens, then remove it from the heat. Let it cool slightly and add the butter, mixing well to achieve a smooth cream.

7. Assembling:
Now, you are ready to assemble the dessert! Start with a layer of dough, add a generous layer of cream, then another layer and continue the process until you have used all the layers and cream. Place the last layer on top and, for an attractive look, dust with cocoa.

8. Cooling:
Cover the dessert with plastic wrap and let it chill for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight. This step is crucial to allow the flavors to develop and the layers to absorb the cream, making them incredibly delicious.

Serving suggestions:
The dessert with layers and caramel cream is best served alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel. A cup of coffee or a fragrant tea perfectly complements this culinary experience.

Possible variations:
If you want to add a personal touch, try adding vanilla essence or even a pinch of cinnamon to the caramel cream. You can also experiment with different types of flour (whole wheat flour, almond flour) to achieve your preferred version.

Frequently asked questions:
1. Can I use another type of sugar?
Yes, you can use brown sugar for a more caramelized taste.

2. How can I make the cream less sweet?
Reduce the amount of sugar in the recipe and add a little vanilla extract to balance the taste.

3. How long can I keep the dessert?
This dessert will stay fresh in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.

4. What other desserts can I try?
If you like caramel cream, try a salted caramel tart or a chocolate cake with caramel cream.
