Indulge in the rich and creamy delight of homemade chocolate wafers sandwiched with velvety cream. This recipe promises a perfect balance of chocolatey goodness and smooth creaminess that will satisfy your sweet cravings.
Ingredients:
For the Chocolate Wafers:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Cream Filling:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture, beating until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until a smooth dough forms.
- Divide the dough into two equal parts. Flatten each portion into a disc, wrap them in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- Once chilled, roll out one disc of dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/8 inch thickness. Use a round cookie cutter to cut out individual wafers.
- Place the wafers onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the wafers are set. Allow them to cool completely on the baking sheets.
- While the wafers are cooling, prepare the cream filling. In a mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until stiff peaks form.
- Once the wafers have cooled, spread a generous amount of the cream filling onto the bottom side of half of the wafers.
- Top each cream-covered wafer with another wafer to create sandwiches.
- Serve immediately for a soft and creamy texture, or refrigerate for a firmer filling.
- Enjoy your homemade chocolate wafers with cream as a delightful treat for any occasion!
