Ingredients:

For the Chocolate Wafers:

• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup (200 ml) powdered sugar
• 1 cup of all-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

For the Cream Filling:

• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2: Prepare the Chocolate Wafer Dough

1. In a mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder. Set this dry mixture aside.
2. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and powdered sugar together until the mixture becomes light and fluffy. This usually takes about 3-5 minutes.
3. Gently fold the dry mixture into the egg and sugar mixture. Be careful not to overmix; just combine them until you have a smooth, chocolatey batter.

Step 3: Shape and Bake the Wafers

1. Spoon small portions of the batter onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving enough space between each for them to spread slightly.
2. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 8-10 minutes or until the wafers are set and have a slightly springy texture.
3. Remove the wafers from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes.
4. After they’ve cooled slightly, transfer the wafers to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 4: Prepare the Cream Filling

1. In a mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.

Step 5: Assemble the Chocolate Wafers with Cream

1. Once the wafers are completely cooled, spread a generous dollop of the cream filling onto the flat side of one wafer.
2. Place another wafer on top to create a sandwich.
3. Continue this process until all the wafers have been paired and filled.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy!

1. Serve your homemade chocolate wafers with cream immediately or refrigerate them for a cooler treat.

Notes:

• Customize the cream filling by adding a touch of flavor, such as a dash of espresso or a hint of citrus zest.
• These chocolate wafers are best enjoyed shortly after filling them with cream to maintain their crispness.
• Experiment with different shapes and sizes for your wafers to create a unique and visually appealing treat.

Homemade Chocolate Wafers with Cream are a simple yet heavenly treat. Their chocolatey goodness combined with the velvety cream filling creates a delightful contrast in taste and texture. These wafers are perfect for special occasions, gatherings, or as a delightful snack any time you crave a little sweetness.
