Icebox Log Cake
If baking isn't your thing, this Icebox Log Cake is for you! Layers and layers of chocolate wafers and fresh whipped cream are my ultimate dream dessert.
Ingredients
- 1 pint whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons confectioner's sugar
- 1 package famous chocolate wafer cookies (see notes)
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
- Place whipping cream and sugar in a large bowl. Using a hand mixer, whip for 2 minutes on medium speed increasing to high speed until thick and creamy making sure not to over whip the cream.
- Spread 1 tablespoon of whipping cream on top of each cookie and cover with another cookie creating stacks of 8 cookies and whipped cream.
- Using a large platter, spread a thin layer of whipped cream in the shape of the log (this helps keep it in place.) Place 3/4 of the stacks on their side creating a log.
- Place the remaining side in the center of the log “gluing” with whipped cream to make the side of the log.
- Spread the remaining whipped cream over the log allowing the ends to remain uncovered.
- Place the cocoa powder in a small sieve and dust the top of the log with cocoa powder.
- Place in the freezer for a couple hours or overnight. Slice and then serve.
Notes
I, like many of you I'm sure, found out that the famous chocolate wafer cookies that are used in this recipe have been discontinued. I'm so bummed of course, but have some ideas for substitutes! My first choice would be Tate's chocolate chip cookies. They're a similar shape, size and crispiness. You could also try to use Oreo Thins, or I've heard of another brand called Dewey's that has a product called Brownie Crisp Cookies that I bet would work great too! Hope that helps! Let me know in the comments if you try any of these substitutes and what were your favorites!
