Old Fashioned Chocolate Icebox Cake
The Old Fashioned Chocolate Icebox Cake layers crisp chocolate wafer or graham cookies with thick whipped cream to create a chilled, sliceable dessert. As it chills overnight, the cookies soften slightly, melding with the sweetened cream and vanilla for a rich, creamy texture and a subtle chocolate flavor, finished with chocolate curls for a decorative touch.

Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 9 ounces chocolate wafer cookies (1 package) or 18 chocolate graham cookies
- ¼ cup Chocolate curls or grated chocolate
Instructions
- Beat cream in a large bowl with a hand mixer on medium. Once it begins to thicken, add powdered sugar and vanilla. Continue beating until the whipped cream is thickened and stiff peaks form.
- Spread a ½" layer of whipped cream on each cookie.
- Spread a line of whipped cream on a serving plate. Begin adding cookies, stacking them upright to form a line.
- Once all cookies are in a line, spread the remaining whipped cream over the cookies to form a 'log' shaped cake.
- Cover and refrigerate overnight.
- Decorate with grated chocolate. Slice cake on a diagonal for a striped effect.
