  • Customizable to suit your taste preferences.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (for whipped cream)
  • Optional: additional caramel sauce for drizzling

How to Make Caramel Cream Layered Dessert

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, oats, brown sugar, granulated sugar, baking soda, and salt. Mix until well combined.
  3. Add the softened butter, egg, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until a thick dough forms.
  4. Press half of the cookie dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.
  5. While the base cools, prepare the caramel cream filling. In a medium bowl, whip the heavy cream with 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
  6. Gently fold in the caramel sauce until well combined, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
  7. Once the cookie base is cool, spread the caramel cream filling evenly over the base.
  8. Take the remaining cookie dough and crumble it over the caramel filling, pressing down slightly to form a second layer.
  9. Chill the dessert in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to set.
  10. Before serving, top with additional whipped cream and a drizzle of caramel sauce. Cut into squares and enjoy!

Tips for the Best Results

  • Ensure the cookie base is completely cool before adding the caramel cream filling to prevent melting.
  • For a richer flavor, use homemade caramel sauce.
  • Whip the cream to soft peaks for a light and airy texture in the filling.

Easy Variations

  • Substitute the caramel sauce for chocolate ganache for a chocolate twist.
  • Add chopped nuts, such as pecans or walnuts, into the cookie mixture for added crunch.
  • Incorporate a layer of fruit, like sliced bananas or strawberries, for a fresh contrast.

What to Serve With It

  • A cup of rich coffee or espresso.
  • A scoop of vanilla or salted caramel ice cream.
  • Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing side.
  • A drizzle of chocolate sauce for extra indulgence.

Storage and Reheating

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This dessert is best enjoyed cold, so no need to reheat. Just serve it straight from the fridge!
