Instructions
- The first step is to combine the whipping cream, sugar, and vanilla in a large bowl. Beat the mixture until light and fluffy.
- Spread a couple of tablespoons of whipped cream onto a large serving platter. This will hold the bottom cookies in place.
- Place eight wafers in a circle on the larger serving platter. Leave room to place four on top to make a solid layer.
- Top the layer of cookies with whipped cream. Repeat this step for another 10-11 layers. Finish with whipped cream on top. Sprinkle with leftover broken cookies.
- Wrap the cake in plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight until the next evening.
- Remove and carefully slice.
You must let the cake sit for an extended period in the refrigerator. The whipped cream and chocolate wafer will slice perfectly if you let it sit overnight and until the next evening.
