Summer delight: Easy no‑bake cake with wafer rolls and cream

There are good cakes, and there are exceptional cakes. Today, we want to show you a recipe for a dessert from the latter group. Even with simple and inexpensive ingredients and without using an oven, it turns out that you can create a perfectly delicious treat that your household will constantly crave.

Wafer rolls, some milk, sugar, and cream. That’s all you need to create a wonderful no-bake cake that your family will love. This type of cake is particularly popular in the summer when outdoor temperatures dangerously hover around 25 or 30 degrees Celsius. The absence of the need to use an oven and form the cake with the help of a refrigerator becomes especially desirable during this period.

What else? Virtually nothing. The no-bake cake we will present does not require a large financial investment or baking skills. Apart from a bit of patience while the cake is set in the refrigerator, you also don't need much time. This cake is made quickly, easily, and pleasantly. Doesn’t that sound great?

Ingredients:

• 200 ml milk,
• 2 tsp type 00 flour,
• 1 egg,
• 200 ml 30% cream,
• 30 g butter,
• 60 g sugar for the cream + 30 g for the whipped cream,
• 1 package vanilla sugar,
• 300 g wafer rolls,
• almond flakes for decoration.

1. Crack an egg into a pot, and add the regular and vanilla sugar and flour. Start heating gently, and after a while, pour milk into these ingredients.
2. Now, add butter to the pot. When the mixture becomes thick, remove it from the heat. Pour the mixture into a bowl, cover with foil, and let it cool.
3. Whip cream and mix with the now-cooled contents of the pot.
4. You can arrange the cake either in a mould or on parchment paper. Spread the parchment paper on the counter and spread some prepared cream. Place wafer rolls on it, then cream again, and continue layering until you use up all the ingredients. Sprinkle the top with almond flakes or other crushed nuts.
5. Wrap it in parchment paper and place it in the refrigerator for 5-6 hours until it’s ready. Enjoy.
