Ingredients:
Wafers:
200g wafer sheets (plain or flavored, as desired).
Cream filling:
1 can (400g) sweetened condensed milk.
200g unsalted butter (room temperature).
100g powdered sugar.
100g crushed hazelnuts or almonds (optional).
Chocolate topping:
150g dark or milk chocolate.
2 tbsp heavy cream.
1 tbsp unsalted butter.
Directions:
Prepare the cream filling:
In a mixing bowl, beat the butter until fluffy. Gradually add powdered sugar and condensed milk, mixing until smooth. Fold in crushed hazelnuts or almonds for extra texture, if desired.

Assemble the layers:
Place the first wafer sheet on a flat surface. Spread a thin layer of the cream filling evenly across the top. Repeat with additional wafer sheets and cream, stacking them carefully. End with a plain wafer layer.

Make the chocolate topping:
Melt the chocolate with heavy cream and butter over a double boiler or in the microwave. Stir until smooth and glossy.

Finish the cake:
Pour the chocolate topping over the wafer stack, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Allow it to drip slightly over the edges for a decorative look.

Set and serve:
Refrigerate the cake for at least 4 hours (overnight is ideal) to allow the layers to meld together. Slice and serve chilled for the best texture.
