A refreshing, no-bake dessert featuring layers of vanilla wafers, whipped cream, sweetened condensed milk, and fresh berries. This easy-to-make cake requires no oven and is perfect for summer gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream (full-fat)
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened (optional)
  • 1 package (approx. 30-40) vanilla wafers
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
  • Honey or maple syrup for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Wash and thoroughly dry the blueberries and strawberries. Chop strawberries into small pieces. Leave blueberries whole or mash half for a swirled effect.
  2. In a chilled large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream using an electric mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and softened cream cheese until smooth.
  4. Gently fold the condensed milk mixture into the whipped cream using a rubber spatula to maintain airiness.
  5. Spread a thin layer of the cream mixture on the bottom of an 8×8 inch baking dish.
  6. Place a single layer of vanilla wafers over the cream.
  7. Spread half of the remaining cream over the cookies, scatter blueberries evenly, add another layer of cookies, and repeat with remaining cream and strawberries on top.
  8. Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours, preferably overnight, to allow cookies to soften.
  9. Before serving, drizzle with honey or maple syrup and garnish with fresh berries if desired. Slice with a sharp knife.

Notes

Ensure berries are completely dry to prevent sogginess. Keep all ingredients cold for best whipping results. The cake improves in flavor after sitting overnight. Do not reheat; serve chilled.
