cup (1/2 of 13.4-oz. can) Mexican caramel spread (dulce de leche)

1/3

Make It

PREHEAT oven to 350ºF. Place eggs, 1/2 cup of the milk, the flour, sour cream, sugar and extract in blender; cover. Blend until smooth; set aside. Let stand 10 min. Meanwhile, spray 13x9-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Mix caramel spread and remaining 1/2 cup milk; pour1/2 cup of the caramel mixture into prepared dish. Tilt dish to evenly cover bottom with caramel mixture; set aside.

SPRAY 8-inch nonstick crepe pan or saute pan on medium-high heat. Add 1-1/2 Tbsp. batter; tilt pan to evenly cover bottom with batter. Cook crepe 30 sec. on each side. Fold into quarters; place over caramel mixture in baking dish. Continue with remaining batter to make a total of 16 crepes, arranging in four rows in dish with crepes slightly overlapping. Top with remaining caramel mixture; cover with foil.

BAKE 10 min. Sprinkle with almonds. Cool slightly. Serve topped with the whipped topping.

Kraft Kitchens Tips

Shortcut

To omit the baking step, cook crepes and fold into quarters as directed; stack on plate with pieces of waxed paper between crepes. Cover to keep warm. Pour caramel mixture into microwaveable bowl. Microwave on HIGH 1 to 2 min. or just until warmed. Arrange crepes on large serving platter; drizzle with caramel mixture. Sprinkle with almonds. Serve warm topped with the whipped topping.

How to Toast Almonds

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Spread almonds into shallow baking pan. Bake 8 to 10 min. or until almonds are fragrant and lightly browned, stirring after 5 min.

Variation

Substitute PLANTERS Pecan Pieces or PLANTERS Walnut Pieces for the almonds.
