Napolitane cu Caramel și Nuci {Wafers with Caramel and Nuts}
Ingredients
Instructions
  1. Place walnuts in a plastic bag and crush with either a rolling pin, or by pulsing a few times in a food processor. They should be crushed to a fine powder.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk the flour and milk together until smooth, making sure no lumps of flour remain.
  3. In a saucepan, heat sugar and water until melted and it begins to caramelize. Add the butter and combine.
  4. Add the combined flour and milk to the saucepan, stirring continuously. Boil for approximately 5 minutes. Sauce should thicken.
  5. Remove from heat, add in crushed walnuts and rum extract.
  6. To assemble, lay one wafer sheet on a cutting board, with the waffled edge facing up. Spread caramel and walnut sauce evenly across the top of the wafer, from edge to edge. Top with another wafer, waffled edge again facing up, and repeat layering with the cream and wafers until you end with the fourth wafer on top.
  7. Cover the top wafer layer with another cutting board and weigh it down with bowls of fruit, cookbooks (this one included), anything you can find in your kitchen that’ll press the wafers. Let it sit with the weight on top for 2 to 3 hours. Caramel and nut filling will harden.
  8. To serve, cut into your favorite shape, and do your best to resist breaking apart the layers and eating them like an Oreo®. Se bucura/enjoy!
  9. To store: Keep wrapped in aluminum foil in the fridge. Good luck keeping it around long enough to require storing 😉
