Magic 4-Ingredient Caramel Dessert
Introduction
Whenever my husband gets homesick, this is the dessert he begs me to make. With just 4 simple ingredients, it bakes into pure magic—a flaky golden crust on top and a rich, thick, gooey caramel center underneath. It’s an old-fashioned comfort dessert that’s easy to make and impossible to resist.
Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
- 1 cup (200g) brown sugar
- 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Place the puff pastry into a greased 9-inch baking dish or pie pan.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, heavy cream, and melted butter until smooth.
- Pour the mixture evenly over the puff pastry.
- Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and puffed.
- Let the dessert cool for 10–15 minutes before serving. As it cools, a thick, gooey caramel layer will form beneath the flaky crust.
Tips
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
- Drizzle with caramel sauce for extra indulgence.
- Best enjoyed fresh from the oven while the caramel center is still warm and gooey.
