Ingredients

Scale

Creamy Base

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Crunchy Topping

  • 1/2 cup toasted nuts (almonds or walnuts), chopped
  • 1/4 cup granola or crushed biscuits
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional, for extra sweetness)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the creamy base: In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Whisk vigorously until the mixture thickens to a soft peak consistency, forming a smooth and creamy base.
  2. Add the crunchy topping: Sprinkle the toasted chopped nuts and granola or crushed biscuits evenly over the creamy base to add texture and crunch. If desired, drizzle honey or maple syrup on top for added sweetness and flavor.
  3. Chill or serve: You may either chill the assembled snack in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes to enhance the texture or serve it immediately for a fresher crunch. Enjoy this creamy crunchy snack as a delightful treat anytime.

Notes

  • For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with Greek yogurt.
  • Toast the nuts lightly in a dry skillet to enhance their flavor.
  • You can customize the topping with different nuts, seeds, or even dried fruit.
  • If serving chilled, cover the snack with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming on the cream.
