Author Notes
Adapted from Nabisco, this is the easiest and simplest summer no-bake dessert. The layers of not-too-sweet chocolate wafers soften between billowy mounds of vanilla whipped cream. —Posie (Harwood) Brien
Ingredients
-
2 cups
heavy cream
-
1 teaspoon
vanilla
-
13 ounces
Nabisco chocolate wafers (1 1/2 packages), or other thin cookie
Directions
-
With a whisk or a stand mixer fit with a whisk attachment, whip the cream and vanilla together to stiff peaks.
-
On a cake stand or large plate, arrange 7 wafer cookies in a circle (1 in the middle, six around the edges). Spread a layer of whipped cream on top, then another circle of cookies, then whipped cream, until you run out. Finish with a top layer of whipped cream.
-
Refrigerate the cake overnight (or for at least 8 hours). Serve.
I like warm homemade bread slathered with fresh raw milk butter, ice cream in all seasons, the smell of garlic in olive oil, and sugar snap peas fresh off the vine.
