My Childhood Favorite Wafers Lost Their Magic: Top Timika's Tortimilka Falls Short
summarizeEditor's Summary
I'm a total sucker for wafers, especially when they're paired with a delicate cream filling. Top Timika's Tortimilka wafers were my childhood favorites, but after a few years of avoiding sweets, I revisited the memories and was met with a slight disappointment. The wafers still look appealing in their oven-fresh packaging, but the taste and texture don't quite live up to my expectations. I'm not sure if it's just me, but the flavor seems less rich and the wafers themselves are more prone to breaking. Still, the delicate cream filling is a nice touch, but it's not enough to redeem the overall experience. The price of 810 rubles per kilogram is steep, but it's not entirely unreasonable for a high-end dessert. The ingredients are listed on the reverse side of the packaging, which is a nice touch.

I'm a total sucker for wafers, especially when they're paired with a delicate cream filling. It's a match made in heaven for me. I fell head over heels for Top Timika's Tortimilka wafers, and for good reason. After a few years of avoiding sweets, I decided to revisit the memories, but I was met with a slight disappointment.

Each wafer is like a mini dessert. I mean, it's a pretty great deal - you get a bunch of delicate wafers and a rich, buttery cream filling.
Tortimilka reviewsTortimilka has 5 layers of delicate, non-crunchy wafers, with a rich, buttery cream filling in between. It's a pretty classic setup, but it's one that works really well.
Classic TortimilkaI've noticed that when I bite into these wafers, there's no crunch, and they're pretty soft. But when I chew, I can feel a bit of a rubbery texture. The creamy filling is way too intense, and it's also super rich – I'd love to get a bit more wafer flavor in there. The sweetness is just right, not too cloying.
When I leave the chocolates in a warm spot, if I press down on them, the filling can start to ooze out a bit. That's no surprise, given the buttery filling is melting and seeping out.
I can enjoy these chocolates on their own sometimes, but more often than not, I pair them with something. Right now, I've got a Maccoffee latte, and a couple of Tortimilkas do the trick. Of course, they'd be even better without milk, where I'd get a bit of that bitter flavor – but I don't have that option right now. With the latte, I get way too much milk.
Tortimilka with coffee❌ I'm not sure if I just wasn't paying attention before, but it seems like there's more defective products now. It's not a guarantee, but sometimes I get wafers that are just off. They can be a different color, have a stale smell, and taste pretty unpleasant. I once opened one that was completely ruined. It's pretty disappointing to shell out good money for chocolates and get a dud!
❌ Sometimes the filling is way off – one side has way more, and the other has way less. Check out the normal one in the photo below. Compared to another Tortimilka, it's pretty clear what's going on.
Tortimilka chocolatesThis time, I picked up two types – the regular and the Plus.
Tortimilka regular and PlusThey differ not just in terms of ingredients and flavor, but also in appearance. The classic ones are thick and tall, while the Plus ones are shorter and have a thinner layer of filling.
Check out the photo below – the top one is the Plus, and the bottom one is the regular.
Waffle Cones and Plus Waffle ConesEven from the photo, it's clear the regular waffle cones have a fattier filling. Let me be upfront, I liked the Plus ones better.
THE VERDICT✅ Delicious, soft waffles
✅ Light and fluffy meringue
✅ Just the right amount of sweetness
❌ You might get some duds
❌ Filling can be inconsistent in thickness
The things that didn't sit well with me were how rich and buttery they were. I used to devour them whole, but as I got older, my tastes changed. After comparing them to the Plus Waffle Cones, I'm not sure I'll be going back to the originals.
