Excitingly, this recipe pairs seamlessly with Oreo Thins for those who desire a lighter wafer texture but the same indulgent flavor. Dive into layers of whipped cream sandwiched between crisp wafers, culminating in a luscious, creamy dessert.
Ingredients
- 1 sleeve of Nabisco chocolate wafers or a package of Oreo Thins
- 3 cups cold, full-fat heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar
- Chocolate shavings, to garnish
Procedure
- Prep Work: Put a mixing bowl, preferably metallic, in the freezer for about 10-15 minutes. This chills the bowl, ensuring that your ingredients remain cool during mixing.
- Whipping the Cream:
- Retrieve the cold bowl and attach it to your stand mixer, fitting it with the whisk attachment. Alternatively, you can use a hand mixer.
- Combine heavy cream, confectioners’ sugar, and vanilla in the bowl.
- Begin whipping the mixture on low speed for approximately 10-20 seconds, just to combine the ingredients.
- Ramp up the speed to medium-high and continue to whip for around 1 1/2 to 2 minutes or until the cream forms medium-soft peaks and the whisk starts creating visible trails in the mixture.
- Layering the Delight:
- Sandwich a dollop of whipped cream between two chocolate wafers or Oreo Thins.
- Proceed to stack the wafers, ensuring each has its generous share of whipped cream. Once you've stacked about 12 wafers, smear a thin layer of whipped cream on your serving platter. Gently lay the wafer stack on its side onto the platter.
- Continue this process twice more, placing each new log adjacent to the previous one. Once completed, envelope the whole structure in whipped cream, ensuring the top and sides are covered.
- Set and Serve: Cover your creation loosely with plastic wrap and let it chill in the refrigerator for a minimum of 6 hours, although letting it sit overnight is ideal. When ready to serve, sprinkle with chocolate shavings, slice into portions, and delight in its creamy goodness.
