Ingredients
- 2 cups of heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup of powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 2 packs of your favorite cookies (e.g., chocolate chip, graham crackers, or digestive biscuits)
- ½ cup of milk (for dipping cookies)
- ½ cup of melted chocolate (optional, for topping)
- ½ cup of crushed nuts or sprinkles (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Start by preparing the whipped cream. In a large mixing bowl, combine the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Use an electric mixer to whip the mixture until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
- Choose a flat dish or cake pan for assembling your cookie cake. Ensure it is large enough to hold several layers of cookies and cream.
- Pour the milk into a shallow bowl. Dip each cookie into the milk for a second or two to soften them slightly. Avoid oversoaking to prevent them from becoming soggy.
- Arrange a single layer of cookies on the base of your dish or pan, ensuring there are no large gaps.
- Spread a generous layer of whipped cream over the cookies using a spatula or spoon, ensuring even coverage.
- Repeat the layering process, alternating between dipped cookies and whipped cream, until all the cookies and cream are used up. The final layer should be whipped cream.
- For an extra touch of decadence, drizzle melted chocolate over the top layer. Use a spoon to create a decorative pattern or let it drip naturally for a rustic look.
- Sprinkle crushed nuts or colorful sprinkles over the top layer for added texture and visual appeal. This step is optional but highly recommended for a festive appearance.
- Cover the assembled cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours or overnight. This allows the cookies to soften and blend beautifully with the cream.
- When ready to serve, carefully slice the cake with a sharp knife. Wipe the knife clean between slices for neat presentation.
- Serve chilled and enjoy your delightful no-bake cookie cake with family and friends.
