Ingredients

4cupsheavy whipping cream

¼cupsugar

1tspvanilla extract

3pkgchocolate wafer cookies

candy for decorations,such as peppermint sticks, dots, mini marshmallows, licorice sticks, junior mints, and pretzel logs

Preparation

Cut one 6-inch circle and one 8-inch circle out of the baker’s parchment. Place them on a platter with the small one on top and the bottom directly underneath.

In a chilled mixer bowl with chilled beaters, beat the cream, sugar, and vanilla until soft peaks form. Place a small dab of whipped cream beneath each parchment paper circle on your plater to hold them in place.

Spread about a teaspoon of whipped cream on each cookie. Stack 4 to 5 cookies together and set them, standing upright on their edges, on the edge of one circle.

Continue to sandwich the cookies and stack them all around the circle and in the middle until the circle is covered. Repeat the process to assemble the second circle.

Use a spatula to spread the cream on the tops and sides of the circles to make the snowman/woman/person.

Chill the cake for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Decorate the cake shortly before serving.
