Another holiday favorite! We used to make this every year when the kids were younger. It is so rich, creamy and delicious! If you are looking to make a “home run” desert look no further. Just remember, this cake is at its best when it has had a chance to sit in the refrigerator for a few days so that the chocolate wafers can soak up the cream and soften. The picture shown is a stock picture from the Internet. The next time we make it I will post our own.
NOTE: This recipe was always made with Nabisco Chocolate Wafers, which have been discontinued. You can substitute Oreo Thins (remove the creme) or make your own chocolate wafers.
Ingredients
- 3 boxes Chocolate Wafers (or Oreo Thins)
- 1 quart Heavy Cream
- 5 tbsp Powdered Sugar
- Walnuts (chopped)
- Maraschino Cherries
Step by Step Instructions
Step 1:
To make whip cream, chill bowl and beaters. Add cream and confectioners sugar. Whip until peeks form.
Step 2:
To make ice box cake layers. In a 9 x 12 glass dish start with chocolate wafer, next spread cream, sprinkle with nuts. Continue each layer in the same way. On the top of the very last layer decorate with maraschino cherries. Refrigerate. Should be made two days before serving.
