American · Dessert · 20 min total

These no-bake layered wafer dessert bars are a delightful combination of crunchy wafers, creamy filling, and rich chocolate topping. Perfect for a quick and impressive treat.

Ingredients

• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 package (about 9 ounces) rectangular vanilla wafers
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1/4 cup heavy cream (for ganache)

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, beat 1 cup heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
2. In another bowl, beat cream cheese and butter until smooth and creamy.
3. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well combined.
4. Line an 8x8-inch dish with parchment paper. Arrange a single layer of vanilla wafers on the bottom, breaking some to fit if needed.
5. Spread half of the cream mixture evenly over the wafers.
6. Add another layer of wafers, then the remaining cream mixture, and top with a final layer of wafers.
7. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and 1/4 cup heavy cream. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
8. Pour the chocolate ganache over the top layer of wafers and spread evenly.
9. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until set. Cut into bars and serve.

Tips

• For cleaner slices, use a sharp knife dipped in hot water and wiped dry between cuts.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
