Indulge in the irresistible simplicity of a classic Chocolate Ripple Cake—a no-bake dessert that’s as easy to prepare as it is decadent to enjoy. This crowd-pleaser combines layers of rich chocolate ripple cookies and fluffy whipped cream, infused with just the right amount of sweetness from powdered sugar and a hint of vanilla. The magic happens in the fridge, where the cookies soften overnight to create a luscious, cake-like texture with striking ripple patterns in every slice. Finished with a dusting of grated dark chocolate for an extra touch of elegance, this dessert is perfect for special occasions or a hassle-free sweet treat. Ready in just 15 minutes (plus chilling time) and serving up to 8 guests, Chocolate Ripple Cake is a stunning yet effortless addition to your dessert repertoire.
In a large mixing bowl, add the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract.
Using an electric mixer, beat the cream mixture until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip.
Spread a thin layer of whipped cream onto the serving platter as a base to prevent the cookies from sliding.
Take one chocolate ripple cookie and spread a generous amount of whipped cream onto one side.
Stand the cookie upright on the platter and press another cookie into the whipped cream layer, slightly angling it to form a line.
Repeat the process with the cookies and whipped cream until you have a log-shaped 'cake'. Use any remaining cookies and whipped cream to make smaller logs, if desired.
Spread the remaining whipped cream over the entire surface of the cookie log to cover it completely.
If desired, finely grate dark chocolate over the top of the cake for decoration.
Refrigerate the cake for at least 6 hours or preferably overnight. This allows the cookies to soften and meld with the cream to create a cake-like texture.
When ready to serve, slice the cake diagonally to show the ripple pattern created by the cookies and whipped cream.
