In a large mixing bowl, combine heavy cream, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, orange zest, and orange juice.
Using an electric mixer, whip the cream mixture on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip.
On a serving platter, spread a small dollop of the whipped cream to hold the base layer of chocolate wafer cookies in place.
Arrange a single layer of chocolate wafer cookies on the platter, slightly overlapping if necessary.
Spread a generous layer of orange whipped cream over the cookies, smoothing it evenly with a spatula.
Scatter a handful of fresh raspberries over the whipped cream layer.
Repeat the process, layering wafer cookies, whipped cream, and raspberries until you have used all the cookies and whipped cream, finishing with a layer of whipped cream on top.
Cover the cake loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the cookies to soften.
Just before serving, garnish the top of the cake with additional fresh raspberries and a sprinkle of grated dark chocolate.
Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy!
