Serves: 10 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups chocolate chip cookies, crushed
- 2 cups whipped cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Chocolate chips for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare your ingredients by crushing the chocolate chip cookies into fine crumbs. You can do this by placing the cookies in a sealed plastic bag and using a rolling pin to crush them evenly.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Add vanilla extract and gently fold to incorporate, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
- Select a rectangular or square serving dish that will allow you to create layers of cookies and cream.
- Begin layering by spreading a thin base of whipped cream on the bottom of the dish to create a stable foundation.
- Add a layer of crushed chocolate chip cookies over the cream, ensuring even coverage.
- Spread a generous layer of whipped cream over the cookie crumbs, completely covering them.
- Repeat the layering process: cookie crumbs, then whipped cream, until you've used all ingredients, typically creating 3-4 layers.
- Finish the top layer with whipped cream and sprinkle additional chocolate chips for garnish.
- Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours or overnight to allow cookies to soften and flavors to meld.
- Before serving, let the icebox cake sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes to soften slightly.
Tips
- • For the most luxurious texture, use high-quality chocolate chip cookies and freshly whipped cream. • Crush cookies uniformly to ensure even layers and consistent texture. • When whipping cream, start with cold cream and a chilled mixing bowl for the best volume. • Don't rush the refrigeration process—letting the cake sit overnight allows cookies to soften perfectly. • For a gourmet touch, try using different cookie varieties or adding a drizzle of chocolate sauce before serving. • Use a clear glass dish to showcase beautiful, distinct layers of your icebox cake. • Serve slightly chilled for the most refreshing and satisfying dessert experience.
