These chocolate-dipped strawberry cream frosted wafers combine crisp vanilla wafers with a luscious strawberry cream frosting and a glossy chocolate dip, perfect for parties and sweet treats.

Ingredients

Scale
  • About 30 thin vanilla-flavored wafers (e.g., Loacker brand)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) cold heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup (30 g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1/2 cup (120 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/3 cup (80 g) strawberry jam or preserves (or fresh mashed strawberries in summer)
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 8 oz (225 g) semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate, chopped (e.g., Ghirardelli)
  • 1 tbsp (15 g) unsalted butter

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Strawberry Cream Frosting: Beat softened cream cheese in a large bowl until smooth using an electric mixer on medium speed.
  2. Add cold heavy cream, powdered sugar, strawberry jam, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese. Beat on high speed until stiff peaks form, about 3-5 minutes. Chill and re-beat if too runny.
  3. Assemble the Wafers: Lay out vanilla wafers. Spread a generous dollop of strawberry cream frosting onto half the wafers, then sandwich with remaining wafers gently.
  4. Melt the Chocolate: Place chopped chocolate and butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring after each, until smooth and glossy. Alternatively, melt over a double boiler on low heat.
  5. Dip the Wafers: Hold each wafer stack by one edge and dip about two-thirds into melted chocolate. Let excess drip off and place on parchment-lined baking sheet.
  6. Set the Chocolate: Let dipped wafers rest at room temperature or refrigerate until chocolate firms, about 30 minutes.
  7. Serve and enjoy the wafers once chocolate is set.

Notes

Whip frosting until stiff peaks form to avoid runny texture. Melt chocolate slowly to prevent seizing. Dip wafers immediately after assembly for best texture. Chill dipped wafers to set chocolate faster. Use parchment paper to avoid sticking.
