Paul said his Mom made this for he and his siblings when he was growing up.  A quick delicious treat!  Buy these chocolate wafer to make.

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream

2 tablespoons powdered sugar

2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

1 (9 ounce) package chocolate wafer cookies

Directions:

Beat cream in a large bowl with electric mixer.  Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla continuing to beat until the cream holds stiff peaks.  

Spread a generous teaspoon of whipped cream on each cookie.  Press cookies together to make 3 inch stacks.

Spread a 1" wide line of whipped cream down the center of a serving platter.  Assemble cookie stacks into a log on platter following the line of whipped cream.

Frost cookie log with remaining whipped cream.

Cover tightly and refrigerate overnight.  

To serve, slice diagonally to create striped pieces.
