Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups rolled oats
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup caramel sauce, plus extra for drizzling
• 2 cups heavy whipping cream
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar

How to Make Caramel Cream Layered Dessert

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. In a separate bowl, combine the rolled oats, flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
5. Spread half of the oatmeal cookie dough evenly in the prepared baking dish. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Allow to cool completely.
6. While the cookie layer cools, prepare the caramel cream. In a mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
7. Fold in 1 cup of caramel sauce into the whipped cream, mixing gently to combine.
8. Once the cookie layer is cooled, spread the caramel cream evenly over it.
9. Take the remaining cookie dough and crumble it over the caramel cream layer, pressing down slightly to adhere. Bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until the top is golden.
10. Let the dessert cool completely before slicing. Top with whipped cream and drizzle with additional caramel sauce before serving.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure your butter is softened to room temperature for easy creaming.
• Don’t overmix the cookie dough; this keeps it chewy.
• Allow layers to cool completely before assembling for the best texture.
• Use homemade caramel sauce for a richer flavor if you have time.

Easy Variations

• For a chocolate twist, add 1 cup of chocolate chips to the oatmeal cookie dough.
• Swap caramel for chocolate ganache for a different flavor profile.
• Add a pinch of cinnamon to the cookie dough for a warm spice note.

What to Serve With It

• A scoop of vanilla ice cream for added creaminess.
• Fresh fruit like strawberries or bananas for a refreshing contrast.
• A drizzle of espresso for coffee lovers looking to enhance the dessert.
