Indulging in a homemade dessert is always a treat, especially when it’s easy to prepare and packed with flavor. Alvita crackers, known for their high quality and great taste, can be transformed into a delightful dessert with the addition of rich, smooth chocolate. Here’s a simple yet delicious recipe to create a chocolatey Alvita cracker delight that will satisfy your sweet tooth and impress your guests.
Ingredients:
- 1 box of Alvita crackers
- 200 grams of dark chocolate (you can also use milk chocolate or a combination of both)
- 100 grams of butter
- 100 grams of sugar
- 1/2 cup of heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- A pinch of sea salt (optional)
- Nuts or dried fruits for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Base: Begin by lining a baking tray with parchment paper. Arrange Alvita crackers in a single layer on the tray, ensuring they are close together without overlapping.
- Make the Caramel Layer: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sugar and stir continuously until the mixture starts to bubble and turns a light amber color, forming a caramel. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Carefully pour the caramel over the layer of Alvita crackers, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Bake: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Place the tray in the oven and bake for 5-7 minutes until the caramel becomes bubbly and the crackers are slightly toasted.
- Melt the Chocolate: While the crackers are baking, melt the chocolate in a double boiler or in the microwave. If using the microwave, heat the chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until fully melted. Stir in the heavy cream and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
- Combine and Cool: Once the crackers and caramel are ready, remove the tray from the oven. Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the caramel-covered crackers, spreading it evenly to cover all the crackers. Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the top if desired for a touch of savory contrast. You can also add chopped nuts or dried fruits at this stage for extra texture and flavor.
- Chill: Let the dessert cool at room temperature for about 15 minutes. Then, transfer the tray to the refrigerator and chill for at least 1 hour, or until the chocolate is fully set.
- Serve: Once the dessert is set, remove it from the refrigerator and break it into pieces or cut it into squares. The combination of crunchy Alvita crackers, rich caramel, and smooth chocolate creates a delightful treat that’s perfect for any occasion.
