Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Preheat the oven

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.

2
Prepare the crust

In a large bowl, mix together the flour and sugar. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press the mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan.

3
Bake the crust

Bake the crust for 15-20 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool.

4
Prepare the custard filling

In a medium saucepan, whisk together the milk, egg yolks, sugar, vanilla extract, and cornstarch. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 10 minutes.

5
Pour the filling over the crust

Pour the hot custard filling over the cooled crust and spread it evenly. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the filling to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the filling is set.

6
Prepare the whipped cream

In a large bowl, beat the heavy cream and powdered sugar with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.

7
Top the bars with whipped cream

Spread the whipped cream evenly over the chilled custard filling.

8
Dust with cocoa powder

Using a fine-mesh sieve, dust the cocoa powder over the top of the whipped cream.

9
Chill and serve

Refrigerate the vanilla cream wafer bars for at least 30 minutes before cutting and serving. Enjoy your delicious and creamy dessert!
