Ingredients
1 quart heavy whipping cream
1 cup powdered sugar
One 9-ounce box thin chocolate wafer cookies
Directions
Special equipment:
a 9-inch springform pan- In the bowl of an electric mixer using a whisk attachment, whisk the heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff.
- Crush one-third of the wafers by hand or with a rolling pin inside a resalable plastic bag until they become coarse crumbs. Set aside.
- In a round 9-inch springform pan, layer in one-third of the whipped cream, smoothing evenly with a spatula. Then layer half of the remaining flat whole wafers close to each other, then one-third more of the whipped cream, then the remaining whole wafers and finally top with the rest of the whipped cream. Garnish the top of cake with the crushed wafers.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours.
- Run a paring knife around the springform pan and release the wall of the pan from around the cake. Leave the cake on the bottom of the pan and transfer to a serving dish or cake stand, then slice and serve.
