Tips

Make sure you fry the vermicelli until they become golden. If you do not fry them long enough, they will have a raw or uncooked texture that is rather unpleasant to bite into. Likewise, if you fry them for too long, they may end up soggy and soft and lose their crispiness. The thin noodles only need a short amount of time to cook, usually just a few minutes, depending on the temperature of the pan. It is important to keep an eye on them and stir occasionally to ensure that they are cooked through and have a nice golden-brown colour.

Make it your own

Do not be afraid to play around with different flavours and toppings for your caramel vermicelli. While chocolate shavings are a classic and delicious option, you can just as easily opt for chopped nuts or dried or fresh fruit like cranberries, pears, or peaches for added flavour and texture.

To complement the rich caramel flavour, try adding a light sprinkling of cinnamon on top of the creamy vermicelli dessert for a warm and spicy aroma that will tantalise your taste buds. And for coffee lovers, why not ditch the milk and dip the biscuits in coffee instead to give the caramel vermicelli a more aromatic flavour?
