Ingredients

• • Waffles: 250 g (about 8.8 oz)
  • Cream cheese: 220 g (8 oz)
  • Sweetened condensed milk: 220 g (¾ cup)

• • Heavy cream (33%): 500 ml (2 cups)
  • Vanilla sugar: 10 g (2 teaspoons)
  • Chocolate: For decoration

Directions

• • Prepare the Base:
    • • Chop the waffles in a blender until fine crumbs form.
      • Line a round or rectangular mold with foil. Pour the crushed waffles into the mold and tamp down firmly to create an even base.

  • Prepare the Cream Filling:
    • • In a bowl, stir the cream cheese until smooth.
      • Add the condensed milk and mix until well combined.
    • In a separate bowl, beat the heavy cream and vanilla sugar with a hand mixer until stiff peaks form.
    • Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, stirring until smooth and creamy.

• Assemble the Cake:
  • Spread the cream filling evenly over the waffle base, smoothing the top with a spatula.
• Chill:
  • • Place the cake in the refrigerator for 3 hours to set. Then, transfer it to the freezer for 1 hour to firm up.

• Decorate and Serve:
  • • Remove the cake from the mold and peel off the foil.
    • Decorate the top with grated chocolate, chocolate shavings, or melted chocolate.
  • Slice and serve chilled.
