Recipe: “Mars” Cake
Ingredients:
– 1 package (200g) chocolate sandwich cookies (such as Oreo cookies)
– 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
– 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
– 1/2 cup powdered sugar
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 2 cups heavy cream
– 1 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
– 1 cup chopped Mars candy bars (about 3-4 regular-sized bars)
– Additional Mars candy bars, chopped, for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
1. Crush the chocolate sandwich cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a resealable plastic bag and crushing them with a rolling pin.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the cookie crumbs with the melted butter until well combined.
3. Press the cookie mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×9-inch square baking dish or a similar-sized serving dish to form the crust layer. Place the dish in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the filling.
4. In another mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth and creamy.
5. In a separate mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
6. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well combined.
7. Spread half of the cream cheese mixture over the chilled cookie crust in the baking dish, smoothing it out with a spatula.
8. Drizzle half of the caramel sauce over the cream cheese layer, then sprinkle half of the chopped Mars candy bars over the caramel sauce.
9. Repeat the layers, starting with the remaining cream cheese mixture, followed by the remaining caramel sauce and chopped Mars candy bars.
10. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate the “Mars” cake for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld together and the cake to set.
11. Once chilled and set, slice the “Mars” cake into squares or bars and garnish with additional chopped Mars candy bars, if desired.
12. Serve and enjoy the heavenly indulgence of this delicious “Mars” cake!
This “Mars” cake is a delightful treat that combines the flavors of chocolate, caramel, and cream cheese into a decadent dessert that’s sure to impress. It’s perfect for special occasions or anytime you’re craving something sweet and satisfying. Enjoy every delicious bite!
