◷ 10 minYield: 4 obleasEasy

Ingredients

  • 8 large oblea wafers
  • 160 g arequipe
  • 60 g fresh cheese or mozzarella, finely grated
  • 4 tbsp blackberry or strawberry jam
  • 2 tbsp shredded coconut, optional

Method

  1. Lay four wafers on a flat surface.
  2. Spread about 40 g arequipe over each, almost to the edge.
  3. Add cheese, a spoonful of jam and coconut if using.
  4. Top with the remaining wafers and press very lightly. Serve immediately so they stay crisp.
Arequipe noteAssemble obleas right before eating; the filling softens the wafers quickly.
