Trubochky (Ukrainian Wafer Rolls)
Description
These delicate wafer rolls start with a batter of eggs, sugar, salt, butter, vanilla, and sifted flour whisked to blend and baked quickly in a preheated wafer maker until golden. The thin, crisp wafers are carefully wrapped around a stick while still warm to form a hollow tube shape which then cools and hardens.
The filling combines whipped cream cheese with condensed milk and vanilla extract, then folded with Cool Whip to form a thick, smooth cream. Once the wafer rolls are cooled and firm, they are filled with this creamy mixture, producing a contrast between the crisp exterior and soft, sweet interior.
Trubochky can be served as an elegant dessert or snack and make use of the unique wafer iron technique to produce their distinctive light texture. They are best enjoyed fresh to retain the crispness of the wafer shell.

Instructions
How to make Trubochky:
For the batter
- Preheat the wafer maker while you make the batter.
- Whisk the eggs, sugar, and salt on high speed until the eggs are light in color and the sugar has dissolved (approx. 2 minutes).
- Add the melted butter, vanilla extract, and flour.
- Whisk everything until the flour is mixed in (approx. 1 minute).
- Spoon the batter onto each wafer section and close the lid. Bake for 18-20 seconds or until dark golden. Carefully remove the wafers with a spatula.
- Quickly wrap the hot wafers around a wooden stick (it usually comes with a wafer maker). Don’t let the wafers cool down.
- Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Place each tube on a baking sheet to dry and cool. Make sure there is enough space between them. Do not let them get soggy.
For the filing
- Whisk the cream cheese on high speed (approx. 1 minute).
- Add the condensed milk and vanilla extract. Whisk for 1 minute.
- Add the frozen whip and continue beating until the filling becomes thick and smooth (approx. 2-3 minutes on high).
- Fill a piping bag with the cream and fully stuff each wafer tube (both ends).
- Dust the tubes with powdered sugar.
- Refrigerate until ready to serve.
