Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Chocolate wafer cookies
- 500 milliliters Heavy whipping cream
- 30 grams Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Unsweetened cocoa powder (optional, for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons Dark chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, pour the heavy whipping cream and add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract.
Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, whip the cream on medium speed until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
On a large serving platter, spread a thin line of whipped cream as the base to help hold the cookies in place.
Take one chocolate wafer cookie and spread about 1 tablespoon of whipped cream on one side.
Stand the cookie upright on its edge on the platter, with the cream side facing outward.
Spread whipped cream on one side of another cookie and press it against the first cookie, cream side inward. Continue this process, creating a log by stacking cookies with whipped cream in between each layer.
Once all the cookies are assembled into a log, use the remaining whipped cream to fully cover the exterior of the log, smoothing it out with a spatula.
If desired, dust the log with unsweetened cocoa powder or sprinkle dark chocolate shavings on top for garnish.
Cover the platter with plastic wrap and refrigerate the log for at least 4-6 hours, or overnight, to allow the cookies to soften and meld with the cream.
Before serving, slice the roll diagonally into pieces to reveal the layered chocolate and cream pattern.
