Categories: desserts

Ingredients

  • 3 cups heavy cream
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 (9-ounce) packages chocolate wafer cookies (or, make your own - see homemade oreos recipe)
  • Unsweetened cocoa (or chocolate shavings)

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, beat cream, sugar and vanilla with an electric mixer on high speed until soft peaks form.

  2. On a flat serving plate, arrange 7 cookies side by side in a circle, keeping 1 cookie in the center.

  3. Spread with 1/2 cup whipped cream, making a 7-inch circle. Repeat with remaining cookies and cream, making 11 layers of cookies and ending with a layer of cream (there will be a few cookies left over). Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.

  4. To serve, dust top lightly with cocoa powder or chocolate shavings.
