What You Need:

 

4 T of sugar

2 T of unsweetened cocoa powder

4 sheets of frozen phyllo dough, thawed

4 T of unsalted butter, melted

1 C of cold heavy whipping cream

6 T of caramel ice cream topping

 

How to Make It:

 

Set the oven temperature to 350 degrees and allow the oven to preheat.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Toss together the sugar and cocoa powder in a mixing bowl.

Cut each phyllo sheet crosswise into 3 separate pieces.

Stack the pieces together to make 4 stacks.

Cover the stacks with plastic wrap,

Cover again with a kitchen towel to keep the phyllo dough from drying out.

Place one piece of phyllo on a baking sheet and brush with the melted butter.

Sprinkle the sheet evenly with the sugar cocoa mixture and top with another piece of phyllo dough.

Repeat the process with this sheet and then place a third sheet on top.

Repeat the butter sugar process again.

Continue in this manner until you have 4 stacks of prepared dough.

Place the stacks in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.

Remove the dough from the refrigerator.

While still on the baking sheet use a sharp knife to cut the stacks into 3 triangular pieces.

Place a piece of parchment paper over the top and lay another baking sheet on top to weight them down.

Bake for 14 minutes or until a golden brown.

Remove the crisps from the oven, remove the top baking sheet and peel off the parchment paper.

Place on a wire rack to cool.

Place the cream into a mixing bowl.

Beat with an electric mixer on high 2 minutes or until stiff peaks form.

Beat in the caramel sauce on high speed for 20 seconds or until well blended.

Place one triangle stack of crisps on a serving plate.

Top with a teaspoon of caramel mousse.

Add another crisp and more caramel mousse then top with the third crisp.
