Chocolate Wafer Icebox Cake

My mom used to make this simple, yet delicious dessert. We never added sliced almonds to the top of it, but often would crush some extra of the chocolate wafers and sprinkle over on top. Make this ahead of time, because it needs time for the wafers to soften before serving. You can easily adjust the amounts of the ingredients, to make as much or as little of this dessert as you'd like.

1 pint (2 cups) whipping cream

3 tbsp powdered sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

1-2 (9-oz) packages of Nabisco Famous Chocolate Wafers

Whip the whipping cream until soft peaks form, using an electric mixer. This will not take very long. Beat in the powdered sugar and vanilla.

In a pretty glass dish, spread some of the sweetened whipped cream onto the bottom of the dish (to prevent the wafers from sliding). Then spread about 1-2 tbsp of the whipped cream between the wafers, setting them up on their side. Spread additional whipped cream on the outside of the "side-stacked" wafers to pretty it up. If you have any leftover wafers, you may crush them and sprinkle over the top. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and chill for up to 8 hours, or overnight.
