Recipe Introduction


A fond childhood memory for me.


List of Ingredients




4 1/2 C heavy cream
4 T confectioners' sugar
2 t pure vanilla extract
2 nine oz. packages Nabisco Famous Chocolate Wafers
Milk-chocolate curls, for garnish



Recipe



Whip 3 C cream with 3 T sugar and the vanilla until soft peaks form.
In a 9-by-9-inch cake pan with a removable bottom, spread a layer of whipped cream. Top with a layer of cookies. Continue layering cream and cookies, finishing with a layer of cream, until all the cookies are incorporated. Cover
with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours and up to overnight.

Whip remaining 1 1/2 C cream with remaining 1 T sugar until soft peaks form. Transfer to a pastry bag fitted with a large star tip. Remove cake from refrigerator, and unmold. Pipe whipped cream over top and sides.
Garnish with chocolate curls. Serve immediately.
