# Instructions:
01 -
Heat the granulated sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat while constantly stirring until it melts into a golden amber color. Add the butter, mix well until incorporated, then pour in the heavy cream slowly while whisking continuously. Once the mixture is smooth, remove it from the heat and stir in the sea salt. Let it cool completely.

In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks are achieved.

Take a 9×9-inch dish and spread a layer of whipped cream on the base. Place a single layer of Oreo cookies over the cream, drizzle with salted caramel sauce, and cover with another layer of whipped cream. Keep layering in this sequence until you’ve used all the ingredients, ensuring the topmost layer is whipped cream.

Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight so the cookies soften into a cake-like texture. Before serving, top with crushed Oreos, additional caramel drizzle, and a pinch of flaky sea salt for garnish.
