For 24 portions

Ingredients

For the griliáž filling:

200 g walnuts (coarsely chopped)
250 g granulated sugar
250 g butter
1 can sweetened condensed milk (approx. 400 g)

For assembling:

4 large waffle sheets (for slices)

For the topping:

100 g good-quality dark chocolate

Preparation procedure

Prepare the nuts Coarsely chop the walnuts. Do not chop them too finely – the griliážky should have a fine crunchy texture.
Make the caramel Put the sugar into a pot or a deeper pan and slowly melt it over medium heat until it acquires a golden amber color. Stir so it doesn't burn.
Combine with the butter Add the butter to the hot caramel in two batches, stirring constantly so it fully combines with the caramel.
Pour in the condensed milk Add the entire can of condensed milk and stir until a smooth, thicker mixture forms. Let simmer for another 2–3 minutes.
Fold in the nuts Add the chopped walnuts to the hot mixture and mix thoroughly.
Assemble the layers Divide the filling into three even portions for the waffle sheets: spread 1/3 of the filling on the bottom waffle cover with the second sheet and spread the filling again repeat once more finish with the fourth waffle
Weigh down and let cool Cover the cake with baking paper, place a baking sheet on top and weigh it down (e.g., with a larger board). Leave in a cool place for several hours, ideally overnight, so it firms up nicely.
Cut and decorate with chocolate Trim the edges with a sharp knife and cut into smaller rectangles or squares. Melt the chocolate and pour it over or dip the pieces. Let set.

Tips and variations

You can add a pinch of salt to the filling – it pleasantly enhances the caramel flavor.
Walnuts can be replaced with hazelnuts or almonds.
You can add a little rum to the hot mixture for a subtle aromatic note.
Store the slices in a cool place so the caramel holds together well.

How to serve

Great as Christmas sweets, with afternoon coffee, or as a sweet gift for the family. The caramel layer softens nicely and melds with the waffles – every piece is a little luxury.
