Equipment

  • standard loaf pan (8”x4")
  • plastic wrap
  • electric mixer

Ingredients
  

  • 1/3 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream very cold
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 package chocolate wafer cookies* see tips

Instructions
 

  • Line a standard loaf pan with multiple layers of plastic wrap, leaving several inches over the sides to wrap the top.
  • Sift the 1/3 cup powdered sugar and 2 Tablespoons cocoa powder into the bowl of a stand mixer or large mixing bowl. Pour in the 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream; whip on high speed until soft peaks form. Add in the 1 teaspoon vanilla and continue to beat until thickened.
  • To assemble the dessert, place a single layer from 1 package chocolate wafer cookies* see tips in the bottom of the loaf pan. Add a layer of the chocolate whipped cream. Repeat the layers until you until you reach the top of the pan; end with a layer of chocolate whipped cream.
  • Cover the top of the dessert with the overlaying plastic wrap. Place in freezer for 2 hours, then remove to refrigerator to chill at least 12 hours prior to serving (alternately, can leave in freezer if serving frozen).
  • When ready to serve, invert the loaf pan onto a platter or large plate and remove the plastic wrap. Sprinkle the top of the dessert with crushed chocolate wafer crumbs. Cut the dessert into slices.

Notes

Tips:
  • For chocolate wafer cookies, use the following:
    • Chocolate ice cream sandwich wafers (I found mine at a restaurant supply store)
    • Oreo thins
    • Chocolate graham crackers
    • Homemade cookies (make sure they are thin)
  • Chill your bowl and beaters prior to whipping the heavy whipping cream
  • Chill up to 3 days; freeze up to 45 days
  • If serving this dessert frozen, allow to sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes to allow to easier cutting
