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
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Fold in 1 cup of caramel sauce into the whipped cream, mixing gently to combine.
- Once the cookie layer is cooled, spread the caramel cream evenly over it.
- 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.
- 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.
