The Method

1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2
Spread the shredded coconut evenly on a baking sheet.
3
Toast the coconut in the preheated oven for 3-5 minutes, or until lightly golden brown, watching carefully to prevent burning. Remove from oven and let cool.
4
If your arequipe is too thick, gently warm it in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly until it is easily spreadable. Be careful not to overheat.
5
On one oblea wafer, spread a thin layer of arequipe.
6
On another oblea wafer, spread a thin layer of blackberry jam.
7
Sprinkle a generous amount of toasted shredded coconut over the arequipe.
8
Carefully sandwich the two oblea wafers together, pressing gently to adhere.
9
Repeat steps 5-8 with the remaining oblea wafers and fillings.
10
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.

Chef's Tips

For a more intense coconut flavor, use toasted coconut flakes instead of shredded coconut.

Feel free to experiment with other fillings, such as Nutella, peanut butter, or other fruit jams.

If the oblea wafers are too brittle, you can slightly warm them in the oven for a minute or two to make them more pliable.

These oblea sandwiches can be made ahead of time, but the wafers may soften slightly over time. Store in an airtight container to minimize this.

Add a sprinkle of sea salt on the Arequipe before adding the coconut to enhance the sweetness.
