Recipe history

Wafers with candy cream are a perfect example of a dessert that has evolved over the years. This type of cake is appreciated for its simplicity and versatility of ingredients. In the past, wafers were often filled with creams made from various ingredients, and each family had its own version. Today, recipes have been modernized, but the essence remains the same: a delicious, easy-to-make dessert.

Necessary ingredients

- 1 package of wafers (approximately 200g)
- 500g milk candies (choose quality candies with an intense flavor)
- 150ml milk
- 200g butter or margarine (preferably at room temperature)
- 8-10 tablespoons ground nuts (optional, but recommended for added texture)

Ingredient details

- Wafers: Make sure they are fresh and crunchy to achieve a dessert with a perfect texture. Wafers with smaller shapes on the back are ideal for spreading the cream evenly.
- Milk candies: You can use candies with various flavors, but those with a classic milk taste will provide the best cream. If you want a more intense flavor, you can combine several types of candies.
- Butter or margarine: Using butter will give a richer taste, while margarine is a lighter option. Choose the version that suits you best.
- Ground nuts: This adds a note of flavor and crunchiness. You can also use other types of nuts, such as almonds or pistachios, for a different taste.

Step by step: Preparing wafers with candy cream

1. Preparing the ingredients: Start by gathering all the ingredients. Make sure you have a pot, a spatula, and a large mixing bowl ready.

2. Melting the candies: In a pot, add the milk candies and milk. Place the pot over medium heat and stir constantly to avoid burning. It is important to be patient and stir well to ensure that all the candies melt completely.

3. Adding the butter: Once the candies have dissolved, turn off the heat and add the butter or margarine. Stir well until completely melted and integrated into the mixture.

4. Incorporating the nuts: Add the ground nuts and stir again. This step will add a pleasant texture to your cream. Let the mixture cool slightly.

5. Filling the wafers: Here comes my favorite trick: take a wafer and spread the cream on the side with the smaller squares. This way, the cream will distribute evenly and adhere better.

6. Stacking the wafers: After spreading the cream, place another wafer on top. Continue this process until you have finished all the wafers and cream.

7. Applying weight: After you have finished building your wafer "tower," place a weight (you can use a heavy book or a cutting board) on top. This step will help to even out the dessert and secure the layers.

8. Cooling: Let the wafers rest in the refrigerator for 4 hours, or even overnight, to allow the cream to set and the flavors to blend.

9. Serving: After the dessert has cooled and set, cut it into squares or desired shapes. You can serve it plain or with a chocolate sauce on top for an extra flavor boost.

Serving suggestions

Wafers with candy cream are delicious served alongside a cup of aromatic coffee or tea. Additionally, a scoop of vanilla ice cream can turn this dessert into a true feast. If you want to add a touch of freshness, a berry sauce will perfectly complement the sweet taste of the wafers.

Frequently asked questions

1. Can I use other types of candies?
Yes, you can experiment with various types of candies, such as those with fruit or chocolate flavors. Be creative!

2. How can I store the wafers?
They store well in an airtight container at room temperature for a few days. If you want to keep them longer, it is recommended to keep them in the refrigerator.

3. Can I replace the ground nuts?
