Categories     dessert

Time 48m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups heavy cream
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract, or 1/2 teaspoon vanilla and 2 tablespoons orange liqueur
48 chocolate wafers, recipe follows
Cocoa or cookie crumbs for dusting
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened Dutch-processed cocoa
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons (1 1/4 sticks) unsalted butter at room temperature
1 large egg

Steps:

  • Chocolate Wafers: Set 2 racks in the middle and upper third of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F. In a food processor or the bowl of an electric mixer, thoroughly mix together the flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and sugar. While pulsing on low speed, add the butter, then the egg. Process or beat until the dough is thoroughly blended and massed together. Drop rounded teaspoons of batter onto nonstick or parchment-lined cookie sheets at 2-inch intervals. With moistened fingers, round out the cookies and flatten them a little. Bake for 9 minutes, turning the pans once for even baking, until the cookies are set. Set the cookie sheets on a rack to cool.
  • In a mixing bowl, whip the cream to soft peaks, about 1 1/2 minutes. Add the confectioners' sugar and vanilla, and continue whipping until stiff but smooth, about 1 minute. Spread the wafers evenly with the whipped cream, about a 1/4 inch thick, and set in stacks of 8. Turn the stacks on their sides and line them up, one after the other, like the wheels on an eighteen-wheeler, 4 rows deep. Frost the top and sides with the remaining whipped cream to form a loaf. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, until firm. To serve, dust lightly with cocoa or cookie crumbs. Slice with a serrated knife dipped in hot water.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality chocolate: The quality of the chocolate you use will greatly impact the flavor of your wafer rolls. Look for chocolate that is at least 70% cacao and has a rich, complex flavor.
  • Use fresh wafers: Stale wafers will not roll properly and will break easily. Make sure to use fresh wafers that are pliable and easy to work with.
  • Don't overfill the wafers: If you overfill the wafers, they will be difficult to roll and may break. Be sure to fill them just enough so that the filling can be evenly distributed.
  • Roll the wafers tightly: Once you have filled the wafers, roll them tightly so that the filling is evenly distributed. This will help to prevent the filling from leaking out.
  • Chill the wafer rolls before serving: Chilling the wafer rolls before serving will help to firm them up and make them easier to eat. You can chill them for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight.

Conclusion:

Chocolate wafer rolls are a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or simply as a sweet snack. With a little practice, you can easily make your own chocolate wafer rolls at home. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give these chocolate wafer rolls a try.
