Ingredients
-
10 milk dessert wafers
-
1.5 liters milk
-
1½ cups granulated sugar
-
1 packet vanilla powder (optional)
-
1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
For the Topping:
-
Ground pistachios or sliced almonds
-
Pomegranate seeds (optional)
-
Edible rose petals (optional, for presentation)
How to Make Milk-Soaked Wafer Dessert
-
Pour the milk into a saucepan, add the sugar, and heat over medium heat while stirring until the sugar completely dissolves. Do not allow the milk to boil; it should be warm only.
-
Add the vanilla powder if using and mix well.
-
Place the first wafer into a large serving tray and drizzle 1–2 ladles of the warm milk mixture over it.
-
Repeat this process, layering wafers and pouring milk between each layer.
-
After the fifth layer, sprinkle the chopped walnuts evenly, then continue layering the remaining wafers with milk.
-
Once all layers are complete, pour the remaining milk evenly over the entire dessert.
-
Let the dessert rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes so the wafers fully absorb the milk.
-
Garnish with ground pistachios, sliced almonds, pomegranate seeds, or edible rose petals.
-
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this dessert cold. For a refined presentation, garnish with additional nuts or pomegranate seeds. Because it is light and refreshing, it is ideal for special occasions or festive evening meals.
