EASY CHOCOLATE ICEBOX CAKE

People are very impressed when they eat this, because the cookies get soft and meld together with the cream. They think that somehow you made really thin strips of chocolate cake, and they can never figure out how you got them to stand up. Best if you make it the day before.

My daughter whipped this up for dessert on Easter Sunday. It was delicious and very easy to make. It didn't last long as we all wanted seconds--at least I did. When I went over the next day, it was gone. You use those thin yummy chocolate wafer cookies. They are so good.

CHOCOLATE WAFER ICEBOX CAKE



Chocolate Wafer Icebox Cake image

I grew up on the log version of this cake, a family favorite. I've made it this way when serving it as a birthday cake for my son. Either way, it's delicious!

Categories     Cakes

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 4

2-3 boxes of famous chocolate wafer cookies
3 cups heavy whipping cream
1 tsp vanilla
sugar to taste

Steps:

  • 1. In a large bowl, beat cream, sugar and vanilla with an electric mixer on high speed until soft peaks form. The cake is quite rich, so I prefer not to make the whipped cream too sweet.
  • 2. On a flat serving plate, arrange 7 cookies side by side in a circle, keeping 1 cookie in the center.
  • 3. Spread whipped cream over cookies, repeating to the height you desire. Some cookies may be broken so I use them to fill in blank spots. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
  • 4. This recipe can be made as a log, or at Christmas we make it into a wreath. Cut on the bias if you make it this way.
