Description
A delicious and easy-to-make dessert that combines layers of chocolate wafer cookies, whipped cream, and cherry pie filling, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup cherry pie filling
- 1 package (14.1 ounces) chocolate wafer cookies
- 1/4 cup chocolate shavings (for garnish)
- Fresh cherries (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until stiff peaks form. This will take about 3-5 minutes with an electric mixer.
- On a serving platter, spread a thin layer of the whipped cream mixture on the bottom.
- Place a layer of chocolate wafer cookies over the whipped cream, slightly overlapping them.
- Spread a layer of cherry pie filling over the cookies, followed by another layer of whipped cream.
- Repeat the layers (cookies, cherry filling, whipped cream) until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of whipped cream on top.
- Cover the cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results. This allows the cookies to soften and the flavors to meld.
- Before serving, garnish the top with chocolate shavings and fresh cherries if desired.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, add a splash of cherry liqueur to the whipped cream mixture.
- Substitute the cherry pie filling with fresh strawberries or raspberries for a different fruit flavor.
