In this article from Arabicook.com, we will present the ingredients and preparation method for Sunflower Sweets.

Ingredients for Sunflower Sweets:

For the first layer:

• 1½ packs of tea biscuits.
• 1 stick of butter at room temperature.

For the second layer:

• 2 containers of plain yogurt.
• 1 cup of powdered milk.
• ½ cup of regular sugar.

For the third layer:

• 1 pack of Oreo biscuits.
• 2 cups of water.
• 2 packets of crème caramel.
• ½ teaspoon of instant coffee (Nescafé).

Preparation Method for Sunflower Sweets:

1. Prepare the first layer:

   • Grind the tea biscuits in a food processor until they become very fine, like powder.
   • Place the ground biscuits in a large bowl and add the softened butter. Mix them well together.
   • Prepare cupcake molds and press the biscuit mixture firmly into the bottom to form a compact base. Then, place the molds in the fridge to set.

2. Prepare the second layer:

   • In a food processor, whisk the yogurt and powdered milk well. Then, add the sugar and continue whisking until a creamy, liquid consistency is achieved.
   • Pour the second layer mixture over the biscuit layer, filling two-thirds of the cupcake molds.
   • Preheat the oven and place the cupcake molds in a baking tray. Bake them for about 5 minutes or until the second layer sets.

3. Prepare the third layer:

   • Separate the Oreo biscuits, removing the cream filling. Place an Oreo half (or a whole Oreo, if you prefer) on top of each cupcake while still hot.
   • To prepare the third layer, bring water to a boil in a pot, then add the crème caramel mix, stirring continuously to prevent clumping.
   • Add the Nescafé and keep stirring until all ingredients are well combined.
   • Turn off the heat and let the third layer mixture cool slightly, without allowing it to set completely.

4. Assemble the layers:

   • Pour the third layer mixture over the cupcake molds and place them in the fridge to allow all the layers to set properly.

5. Serving:

   • You can serve Sunflower Sweets by removing the cupcake liners or keeping them on, depending on your preference, to resemble a sunflower.
