Strawberry-Vanilla Wafer Layered Torte (No Bake)

"From a cookbook called "Adventures in the Kitchen" compiled by the Mother's Club of the Waverly Lutheran Church in Truman, Minnesota. This recipe was provided by Mrs. Zenk who was listed as a guest cook. Note-requires 12 hours to chill prior to serving. This was titled "Strawberry Mold" but I changed the name to more accuratley depict the dessert."

  1. All 2 stars for the nice, fresh strawberry flavor. Unfortunately, for the texture, can't grant any more stars. My strawberries made the buttercream curdle and soggy wafers where not to my liking, either. Original name "Strawberry Mold" was quite right, what it comes to texture. Nevertheless, all was eaten up.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

<p>I've collected recipes since I was a teen. After all these years I'm trying to get all my index cards and clippings, that still sound interesting to me, posted here so that I can find them and eventually make them! <br /> <br />I've posted some of my Mom's recipes. I regret not having paid more attention to my Grandmothers' cooking. They made some dishes that I miss and there were/are no recipes for them. <br /> <br />I have a wonderful DH and 2 wonderful sons. They are thrilled that I found this site since they directly benefit from it! Before finding 'Zaar, I was less of a cook and more of a recipe collector but now I try many more things and we're having more fun in the kitchen (at least I am)! <br /> <br />Thanks for all your ratings, comments and help in the forums AND for posting so many great recipes. You've enhanced my cooking skills and expanded my horizons! I've learned so much. <br /> <br />For fun, I also like to read fiction, travel, see movies and shows, shop (and I love to browse thrift shops and rummage/garage sales for cookbooks, etc.). <br /> <br />The discovery of a new dish does more for the happiness of mankind than the discovery of a new star Brillat-Savarin</p>
