Icebox Log Cake

If baking isn’t your thing, this Icebox Log Cake is for you! Layers and layers of chocolate wafers and fresh whipped cream are my ultimate dream dessert. The holidays doesn’t have to be ALL about baking – you can have a perfect festive dessert without turning on your oven. Icebox Log Cakes were always part of my childhood. I love making these with my mom every year. There’s truly no better dessert for me than layers of chocolate wafer cookies and whipped cream. It’s simple, but absolutely decadent and delicious.

Ingredients

1 pt - whipping cream
2 tablespoons - confectioner’s sugar
1 package - chocolate wafer cookies
2 tablespoons - cocoa powder

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.
Spread 1 tablespoon of whipping cream on top of each cookie and cover with another cookie creating stacks of 8 cookies and whipped cream.
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.
Spread the remaining whipped cream over the log allowing the ends to remain uncovered.
Place the cocoa powder in a small sieve and dust the top of the log with cocoa powder.
Place in the freezer for a couple hours or overnight. Slice and then serve.
