Ingredients
Instructions
- Whip the cream. In a large bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until stiff peaks form.
- Layer the cookies. Arrange a single layer of whole chocolate sandwich cookies on the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Add the cream layer. Spread a layer of the whipped cream mixture evenly over the cookies.
- Repeat the layers. Continue layering cookies and whipped cream, ending with a final layer of whipped cream on top.
- Add the topping. Sprinkle the crushed chocolate sandwich cookies evenly over the top layer of whipped cream.
- Chill. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or overnight for best results — this allows the cookies to soften into a soft, cake-like texture.
- Slice and serve cold, straight from the fridge.
