Polish wafer bars {Andruty}
Polish Polish wafer bars {Andruty} made from sheets of wafers layered with home-made cream. The wafers are then stacked one on top of to another and cut into bars. This delicious home-made treat reminds me of my mom, she made this a lot when we were kids, it was easy and the wafer sheets were readily available.
The recipe was prepared by my high school friend Magda Kasjaniuk, who is co-writting the next cookbook about traditional Polish desserts.

Wrap with plastic foil and place in the fridge. Top with a cutting board for a bit of weight. Cool for 4 hours.
