No bake wafer cake – 3 ingredient recipe

For this wafer cake recipe, you’ll need three ingredients and about 15 minutes of time. Also, no oven is needed for this.

All you have to do is whip up butter and caramelized sweetened condensed milk cream, spread it on the tort wafer sheets, and your no bake wafer cake is ready. However, it needs a few hours to set.

Russian wafer cake

This wafer cake is very popular in Russia and some other countries of the former Soviet Union, including Ukraine. Slavic families living in Germany also like to prepare it.

It is not surprising, because the no bake wafer cake is ready in a flash. Besides, it tastes heavenly delicious. Give it a try, because you’re guaranteed to be just as thrilled with the cake.

Where can I buy tort wafer?

Tort wafers or plain wafers are available in Russian stores and some large German supermarkets. You can also order them online.

Both round and square wafer sheets work for the recipe.

Cream without a mixer

You can make the cream for the Russian wafer cake even faster without a mixer. Melt butter and stir caramelized sweetened condensed milk into the still warm butter. I have made the cream according to this variant several times. It tastes a little less creamy, but more caramel. It also has a more pronounced caramel color.

Another way to make the cream without a mixer is to mix soft butter and caramelized sweetened condensed milk together thoroughly with a spoon, fork or whisk until a homogeneous mass is formed.

Here’s how you can modify the recipe

Instead of using caramelized sweetened condensed milk, you can make the cream for the wafer cake with ordinary sweetened condensed milk without caramel flavor. Homemade sweetened condensed milk will also work for this.

Also, you can spread the tort wafer sheets only with caramelized or classic sweetened condensed milk without butter. But then the Russian no bake wafer cake will taste sweeter and less creamy.

In addition, you can refine the cake with any roasted nuts, by sprinkling each wafer sheet with the nuts after coating with the cream or stirring the nuts into the cream beforehand. Coconut flakes can also be used instead of nuts.

If you spread the tort wafer sheets with a jam, you will also get a delicious wafer cake without having to make a cream for it. It is best to choose jam with a sour note, so that the cake does not taste too sweet.

Perfect for take away and party buffet

Since the wafer cake pieces are very convenient to serve, they are suitable for any occasion. For example, you can take the cake with you on the go. It’s also perfect for a party buffet, because each piece can be easily eaten out of hand. But the no bake Russian wafer cake is also ideal for an afternoon coffee with the family at home.

If you plan to serve the cake only at the dining table, you can also spread the cream on the top wafer.

How to store the wafer cake?

Usually this wafer cake is gone very quickly, as delicious as it tastes. You even have to be careful to get at least a piece of it yourself.

But if there is some of the cake left over, store it in the fridge either just on a plate if you want the wafer cake to stay crispy, or wrapped airtight, for example in a lunch box, then the cake will soften a bit.
