Directions
1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream until it starts to thicken.
2. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and continue beating until stiff peaks form.
3. Spread a thin layer of whipped cream at the bottom of your chosen dish (an 8×8 inch dish works well).
4. Place a layer of Ritz crackers over the cream, breaking them as necessary to fit.
5. Spread a layer of caramel sauce over the crackers, followed by a sprinkle of sea salt.
6. Top with another layer of whipped cream.
7. Repeat the layers – crackers, caramel, sea salt, and cream – until you run out of ingredients, ending with a layer of whipped cream.
8. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
9. Before serving, sprinkle a bit more sea salt on top for an extra punch of flavor.
Variations & Tips
Feel free to get creative with this recipe! If you’re in the mood for a chocolate twist, drizzle some melted chocolate between the layers. You can also swap out the Ritz crackers for graham crackers or shortbread cookies for a different texture. For a festive touch, try adding a layer of crushed peppermint candy during the holidays. This dessert is super versatile and can easily be tailored to suit your tastes or the occasion.
