Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream

  • 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar

  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

  • 1 (9 ounce) package chocolate wafer cookies

  • ¼ cup grated chocolate

Directions

  1. Beat cream in a chilled glass or metal bowl with an electric mixer. Gradually add confectioners' sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form.

  2. Spread a generous teaspoon of whipped cream onto each cookie. Press cookies together to make 3-inch stacks.

  3. Spread whipped cream in a 1-inch-wide line down the center of a serving platter. Turn cookie stacks sideways and join into a log; place in the whipped cream to secure.

  4. Frost cookie log with remaining whipped cream and sprinkle with grated chocolate. Cover tightly and refrigerate, 8 hours to overnight.

  5. To serve, slice diagonally to create striped pieces.
