  1. Prepare the Dulce de Leche
    Start by making the dulce de leche in advance. Boil a can of condensed milk in a large pan of water for at least 3 hours, ensuring the can remains fully submerged at all times. Refill the water if needed.
  2. Mix and Chill the Dough
    Combine all dough ingredients, kneading until you can form a smooth ball. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate it for at least 1 hour.
  3. Preheat and Prepare the Baking Base
    Preheat your oven to 175°C. Line the baking tin with parchment paper on both sides. Press the dough evenly across the bottom of the tin. Bake for 20–25 minutes until the crust is golden and firm. Let it cool in the tin.
  4. Layer with Dulce de Leche
    Gently stir the dulce de leche and spread it evenly over the cooled crust. Refrigerate briefly to help the filling set.
  5. Melt and Pour the Chocolate
    While the filling chills, melt the chocolate in a bain-marie (double boiler) until smooth. Pour it over the caramel layer, spreading it evenly. Return to the refrigerator to allow the chocolate to set.
  6. Slice and Serve
    Once the chocolate has set, cut the dessert into pieces and enjoy!
