Boil the sugar and water in a small pot until a clear syrup forms.
Whisk the egg yolks smooth in a separate bowl.
Add the hot syrup to the yolks gradually to temper them.
Cook the mixture over low heat, stirring constantly, until thickened.
Let the cream become warm and divide it between the wafer sheets.
Seal the edges, lightly scent with cinnamon, and serve.
💡 Tip: Do not pour the syrup into the yolks all at once; adding it gradually keeps the cream from curdling.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve in small portions with coffee, because the sweet is intense and a plain drink balances it.
