How to Cook Sweetened Condensed Milk
By cooking sweetened condensed milk, you are essentially making dulce de leche. You can use one of 3 methods:
Buy Pre-cooked or pre-made dulce de leche
Cook Dulce de Leche in a pot in a slow cooker
Make the quick version: Instant-pot Dulce De Leche (this is my favorite because it’s speedy!)
Once the dulce de leche is cooked, let it cool to room temperature, then store it covered in the refrigerator until ready to assemble the cakes. You can make the dulce de leche ahead of time.

Where to Buy Wafer Cakes?
Until recently, I have only been able to find them at Russian or European stores, but now they are available online.
I’ve also seen these wafers sold in a California Walmart (near Rancho Cordova). I guess the Russian/Ukrainian population is so large that Walmart even has a Russian section. Lucky!! Once you buy the wafers, this will be the easiest cake you’ve ever made. And it’s quite fabulous!

2. Spread cream on the wafers, making sure to reach the edges. Don’t be concerned with filling each square or you will have too much frosting on the cake. Just put enough to have the layers stick. You may make 2 skinny cakes or 1 tall one. They do stack nicely when they aren’t as tall.
3. Place cake under a heavy cutting board or make a press using a cutting board with a bowl of water on top. Let it sit under the press at least 2 hours. Then, slice it up (Ukrainian style) and make sure you grab a slice. They go quickly!!
