Nabisco Famous Wafers

This section contains affiliate links

Unfortunately, Nabisco has stopped making their famous wafers. So what can you use instead?

You can buy any plain chocolate cookie from the store. Amazon sells Oreo cookies with no filling as well. Oreo thins are a great option. You can scrape the filling from between Oreo cookies (but who wants to do that!). Here’s another brand that’s gluten free. And Goya Chocolate Maria cookies are an option. You could also make your own homemade chocolate cookies.

French foods

You may remember a few months ago I posted a recipe for Brie Butter Sauce Crepes.

Wow they were good!

I decided that I needed to make something utterly French and divine with some of this new Valrhona Blonde chocolate.

I hadn’t heard of Blond Chocolate before, and I was really intrigued. This Orelys 35% Blonde Chocolate uses muscovado sugar. It’s this muscovado sugar that gives the unique natural color of light bronze.

Muscovado sugar is a type of brown sugar with a strong molasses content and flavor. Thus, the pretty toasty brown color. Valrhona Blond chocolate also has a nice creamy texture. The flavor is nice and caramel-y, not too sweet and not too bitter. Perfect with a pinch of salt in desserts.

VALRHONA

Valrhona is a French bean to bar Chocolate maker.

Dulcey 32%, baking bar. During a pastry demonstration, Valrhona Corporate Pastry Chef Frédéric Bau accidentally left white chocolate in a bain-marie for too long. After realizing what happened, he noticed that the color had turned blond.

What does it taste like? Dulcey is a 4th color of chocolate (after the White, Milk and Dark). Where to buy: on Valrhona online boutique.

If you can’t find this chocolate, or don’t want to buy a special chocolate, you can use your favorite. White chocolate, milk chocolate, even dark chocolate will work. You can also combine the types of chocolate to get a lighter color – say some white chocolate and some milk chocolate. Of course, the different chocolates will all have different flavors.

Orelys 35% baking bag. Five years after creating DULCEY 32%, Valrhona once again distinguishes itself in the Blond category by using its chocolate expertise with a new star ingredient: dark muscovado sugar.

Crust:

• 9 ounces Nabisco Famous chocolate wafers

• ¾ cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
