Instructions

Place whipping cream and sugar in a large bowl. Using a hand mixer, whip for 2 minutes on medium speed increasing to high speed until thick and creamy making sure not to over whip the cream.
2
|
Spread 1 tablespoon of whipping cream on top of each cookie and cover with another cookie creating stacks of 8 cookies and whipped cream.
3
|
Using a large platter, spread a thin layer of whipped cream in the shape of the log (this helps keep it in place.) Place 3/4 of the stacks on their side creating a log.

|
Place the remaining side in the center of the log “gluing” with whipped cream to make the side of the log.
5
|
Spread the remaining whipped cream over the log allowing the ends to remain uncovered.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Chill Your Cream Bowl ❄️Place your mixing bowl and whisk in the freezer for 15 minutes before whipping cream to achieve stiff peaks faster and create a more stable, luxurious texture.
- Thin Cocoa Dusting Layer 🍫Sift cocoa powder between every 3-4 wafer layers in addition to the final coating—this intensifies chocolate flavor throughout and prevents the cake from tasting too cream-heavy.
- Strategic Cookie Placement 🍪Arrange wafers vertically on their sides rather than flat to create a more elegant presentation and allow better cream absorption for a cohesive slice.
- Overnight Refrigeration is Essential ⏱️Let the assembled log cake rest in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours (ideally overnight) so the cookies soften slightly and meld with the cream for the perfect texture and clean slices.
- Room Temperature Before Serving 🌡️Remove the icebox cake from the refrigerator 10-15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to fully develop and the texture to become creamy rather than rock-hard.
