The Famous Chocolate Wafer Icebox Cake

Step 1

Combine the whipping cream, sugar and vanilla in a large bowl. Beat until light and fluffy.

Step 2

On a large serving platter, swirl a couple of tablespoons of whipped cream onto the plate. This will hold the bottom cookies in place.

Step 3

Place 8 wafers in a circle on the plate, leaving room to place 4 on top to make a solid layer. ( see the how-to video!)

Step 4

Top with whipped cream.

Step 5

Repeat for another 10-11 layers.

Step 6

Finish with whipped cream on top, then sprinkle with leftover broken cookies. There are always broken cookies.

Step 7

Wrap lightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight until the next evening.

Step 8

Remove and slice carefully to serve!
