I remember my mother making this dessert for company in the 1960s. It´s so simple and so good! Make sure you chill it for at least four hours in the refrigerator so the cookies soften. For an all chocolate version, add 2 Tbsp. cocoa powder when you beat the heavy cream with the powdered sugar. Yum.
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 pkg. plain chocolate wafers (Famous Wafers), about 40
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp. vanilla
Preparation:
Beat together cream, powdered sugar and vanilla until stiff. Spread a generous spoonful on each cookie and stack them on a serving plate to make a long log. When all the cookies are frosted and stacked, cover the entire log with more whipped cream to cover thoroughly. Cover and chill in refrigerator for at least four hours. Slice on a diagonal to serve.
Or, you can divide the wafers into eight groups. Frost the top of each wafer and stack them vertically, making eight stacks of cookies. Then frost the top and sides of each little stack, like you would a cake. Top each with a maraschino cherry half and chill for at least four hours. Serve one stack to each diner.
Serves 8
