Ingredients

12 oz Dulce de leche

½ cup Unsalted butter, softened

1 package Waffle cake cookies

Directions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter and dulce de leche. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, blend until the mixture is smooth and fully combined, about 2 minutes.

  2. Place one waffle cake cookie layer on a clean work surface. Spread a thin, even layer of the dulce de leche mixture across the surface using a spatula.

  3. Stack a second waffle cookie layer on top and spread with another layer of the dulce de leche mixture. Repeat this process with a third layer.

  4. Top with the final waffle cake layer without spreading any mixture on top. This keeps the presentation clean and the top layer crisp.

  5. Using a sharp knife, cut the assembled cake into bite-sized pieces.

  6. Transfer the pieces to a serving platter or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the layers to set and the flavors to meld.

This no-bake assembly is honest at 20 minutes and uses three widely available ingredients that Charlotte chains stock year-round: dulce de leche (Walmart, ALDI, Harris Teeter), butter, and waffle cookies. At roughly $1–1.50 per serving, it's a cheap dessert that feeds a crowd and reheats fine if covered. The only friction is that dulce de leche is not a staple in every pantry, so it may require a deliberate stop, though most readers will find it without a special trip.
