- Greek Yogurt: 250 g (8.8 oz)
- Butter: 80 g (2.8 oz)
- Peanuts: 150 g (5.3 oz), roughly chopped
Instructions:
- Prepare the Puff Pastry:
- Preheat your oven according to the puff pastry package instructions. Roll out 800g (28 oz) of puff pastry and cut it into desired shapes. Prick the surface with a fork to prevent it from puffing up too much. Bake until golden and crispy. Let cool.
- Make the Caramel:
- In a saucepan, combine 30g (1.1 oz) of sugar with 20ml (0.7 fl oz) of water. Cook over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and turns into a golden caramel. Carefully add 80g (2.8 oz) of butter and stir until smooth.
- Whip the Cream:
- In a mixing bowl, whip 350ml (12 fl oz) of whipping cream with 50g (1.8 oz) of powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. In another bowl, mix the Greek yogurt with 180g (6.3 oz) of sugar until well combined. Gently fold the whipped cream into the yogurt mixture.
- Assemble the Dessert:
- Break the cooled puff pastry into bite-sized pieces. In a large dessert dish, layer half of the puff pastry pieces. Drizzle with half of the caramel sauce and then spread half of the yogurt and whipped cream mixture over the top. Sprinkle with half of the chopped peanuts. Repeat the layers once more.
- Chill and Serve:
- Refrigerate the dessert for at least an hour to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve chilled for a delightful dessert experience.
