As tasty as they are beautiful, with rich and decadent layers- from peanuts to cream, crunchy biscuits to luscious chocolate- for the most memorable and delicious dessert.

INGREDIENTS

Ingredient List	50g thick cream
1 & Half cups/20 no.s biscuits	220g Semi-sweet Chocolate
2 tbsp Sugar	1 cup Whipped cream
4 tbsp Butter, melted	1 tbsp Butter
110 g Cream Cheese	½ cup Peanuts, salted
½ cup Peanut Butter
½ cup Powdered Sugar
1 tsp Vanilla essence
200g Thick cream
1 ½ tbsp. Butter
220g Chewy Caramel

METHOD

Line a rectangular baking /Pyrex tray of about 11x7.5 inch with melted butter.

Crush biscuits in a food processor along with sugar until it is finely crushed. Then pop in butter and process again for a few seconds.

Transfer mixture to the tray and pat into an even layer using the bottom of a measuring cup or palm. Freeze this for about 15 minutes.

Bake this pan until the crust is firm to touch or for 8-10 minutes at 160C/320F.

Let it cool at room temperature and then refrigerate for about 15 minutes.

For peanut & cheese layer:- Take cheese in another bowl.

Mix in peanut butter , sugar and vanilla in a  blender or with hand.

Fold in 200 g of thick cream into it.

Pour this mixture on top of the biscuit layer. Refrigerate until it sets; for about a minimum of 20 minutes.

For caramel layer:- Microwave or double boil caramels, butter and cream (50g) until it melts and turn into a smooth cream. Keep on stirring while melting.

Pour this on top of the peanut cream.

Spread chopped peanuts on top of this layer.

Refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes or until it sets.

For ganache layer:- Take chocolate chips/chunks in a bowl.

Heat cream until you see bubbles on the sides of the pan. Take it out and pour over the chocolates. Mix nicely until you get smooth ganache. Pop in a tbsp. of butter and mix well. Let it cool .

Layer this ganache on top of the caramel layer.

Garnish with peanuts, snickers or peanut/chocolate chips.

chewy caramels that I used

TIPS/VARIATION

For biscuits, you can use Oreo, Marie, Digestive, Graham crackers etc.

This dessert is deliciously sweet. You can cut down a little bit sweetness by substituting unsweetened whipped cream instead of ganache.  In that case , garnish with chocolate syrup and chocolate flakes. You can otherwise cut down the sugar added in peanut & cheese cream layer.

When microwaving caramels, stir between every 30 seconds.

I used ‘tiffany cream fudge’ for caramel layer.

Nutty Crunch Surprise

This delicious dessert is associated with my childhood memories. It was an Eid day ,when my Mom made this for the first time. It was so delicious that the guests were blown away by the flavor. The texture was awesome too. She don't remember the source of the recipe now,whether a magazine or a tv show, but we never forget to bake this once a while for our kids.

Ingredients
        Note: * Nuts can be either almonds, pistachios, walnuts,hazlenuts or anything, but not roasted or salted. I used a combination of almonds and pistachios -both 1/4 cups each.

Eggs 4
Milk 3 cups
Nuts crushed to bread crumbs consistency...1/2 cup*
Condensed Milk 1 tin
Sugar 5 tbsp or more (according to your taste)
Bread crumbs 1/2 cup

Method

1.Boil milk , condensed milk & sugar. Turn off the flame.

2.Beat eggs nicely in a separate bowl with a spring spatula or fork(no need of electric beater).

3.Add eggs in the milk SLOWLY. You should keep on stirring the milk  while pouring the egg in it. Otherwise the eggs will get scrambled.

4.Mix Nut crumbs in it. I crumbed almonds and pistachios using my grinder.

5.Now, mix in the breadcrumbs.

6.You can either steam it or bake it .
---When steaming, pour this into a deep dish and steam it just as you do while steaming creme caramel.

---If baking, pour these into ramekins or any baking dish and then keep these in another pan filled half-way with boiling water. Preheat your oven and bake at 150C.

8.Bake or steam for about 20-25 minutes or until your toothpick comes out clean when inserted. Do not overbake,otherwise it may turn hard and won't taste good at all. Make sure that no bubbles are appearing at the edges. 

You can serve it as it is or top it with chocolate swiss rolls. Serve chilled.
