- 60g butter or 3 tablespoons;
- 45g of sugar or 3 tablespoons;
- 120g of wheat flour;
- 30g brown sugar or 2 tablespoons;
- 1 egg;
- 16g of crushed chestnuts;
- 20g of chocolate powder or 2 tablespoons.
To prepare the dough you will need to mix the chestnuts, cocoa powder, wheat flour, refined sugar and brown sugar in a bowl.
Add the chopped butter and mix with your fingertips until a moist crumb forms.
Lightly beat the egg and add it to the mixture as well, again mixing a little with your hands.
And in a pan lined with parchment paper, start forming the pie, placing the dough and trying to make it level.
Before putting it in the oven, place it in the refrigerator for 15 minutes, and then place it in the oven preheated to 200°C, for 25 to 30 minutes. When you take it out of the oven, let it cool down a little.
Now let's look at the ingredients for preparing caramel.:
- 90g of sugar;
- 40g of butter;
- ½ can of condensed milk;
- 5ml of vanilla essence;
- 200g of cream.
Place a pan with sugar over low heat and wait for it to melt a little. When it melts, add the butter and warm cream and mix a little.
The caramel should start to dissolve, and when it is completely dissolved, add the condensed milk and essence, stirring until it starts to come away from the pan as if it were brigadeiro consistency.
Place the caramel on top of the already baked dough and place in the fridge or freezer, wherever you prefer.
And finally, for the roof you will need only one ingredient: 120g of chopped milk chocolate.
To prepare the topping, microwave the chocolate for 30 seconds at a time. Once it is completely melted, pour it over the caramel, spreading it out enough to cover the entire surface.
Leave it in the fridge for a while so it can cool down, it can be 10 to 15 minutes, and once it is ready you can unmold it or not.
After preparing this recipe you will understand why Woody, the woodpecker, was so obsessed and in love with this sweet. It is extremely delicious and you will not regret it!
