Dessert: Icebox Cake

Make sure the bananas are very ripe for best flavor.

Ingredients

2 c. heavy or whipping cream
3 tbsp. confectioners' sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 small bananas
35 chocolate wafer cookies
3 tbsp. semisweet-chocolate pieces

Instructions

In large bowl, with mixer at medium speed, beat heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla until stiff peaks form. Spoon half the whipped cream into another bowl; cover and refrigerate.
With rubber spatula, gently fold bananas into remaining whipped cream.
On one side of each of 6 chocolate wafers, spread about 2 heaping teaspoons banana-whipped cream. Stack wafers on top of each other. Top stack with a plain wafer.
Repeat stacking wafers on top of each other until all wafers are used, making 5 stacks of 7 wafers each.
Turn each stack on its side; place stacks, one behind the other so that rounded edges overlap slightly to form a log on platter.
Frost log with reserved whipped cream and decorate with chocolate pieces. Cover and refrigerate at least 5 hours or overnight to allow wafers to soften.
