Cookies & Cream Dessert

This is another recipe from a cookbook my son, Seth, bought me. It is a dessert made of cookies, whipped cream & a few other ingredients, put in the refrigerator for a few hours & that’s it!

I have another refrigerator dessert recipe very similar to this on my blog that uses chocolate chip cookies,Chocolate Chip Cookie & Kahlua Torte. This dessert uses chocolate wafers or vanilla wafers & a different filling. This recipe is easy & pretty quick to put together. You can decide to have it for dessert the same day you want to eat it. Make it before you start making dinner & by the time you want to eat it, this should be ready. It sits in the fridge for 2 – 3 hours or longer if need be. I left mine in the refrigerator overnight & the cookies were very soft…so if you want more definition to this dessert…between cookie & filling… eat it sooner! I have popped mine in the freezer & I am confident it will be good once defrosted! I will put this in the fridge a few hours before I want to serve it… that should work!!

The recipe, Upgraded Biscuit Cake, is from the cookbook called  TRADITIONAL JEWISH BAKING by CARINE GOREN

Cookies & Cream Dessert

Ingredients 

For the filling

2 cups whipping cream

2 cups milk

1 box 153g ( 1 cup) vanilla pudding mix

1/2 cup cream cheese, room temperature *** use the back of a spoon to soften the cream cheese…this will make it easier to combine into the whipped cream….

1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt

Cookie Layer

1 cup milk

500 g chocolate wafer cookies *** I used 2 boxes of the Christie chocolate wafers

Chocolate Frosting

1/2 cup whipping cream

1/2 cup dark chocolate

sprinkles…optional

Method

You will need a 9×13 dish to make this in

Filling

1. In a mixer, using a high-speed, beat the whipping cream, milk & vanilla pudding mix together until firm peaks form..this took awhile so be patient…also, put a dish towel over the top of the mixmaster hanging over the bowl to eliminate the filling spattering all over the counter & cupboards!!! I had a mess to clean up!!!
2. Add the cream cheese & yogurt to the mixer bowl & beat until well combined

Cookies

1. Put the 1 cup of milk into a bowl or cup big enough to dip the cookies into

Putting it all together

• Dip 1/3 of the cookies into the milk quickly, one at a time,  & put into the bottom of the dish you are going to use. Fit them in snuggly & fill in any spaces with bits of the cookies
• Spread 1/3 of the filling evenly over-top of the cookies
• Repeat … cookies, cream, cookies, ending with a cream layer
• Put into the freezer to firm up while you are making the frosting

Chocolate Frosting

1. In microwave safe bowl, heat the whipping cream & chocolate together. I microwaved it for 1 minute…  You want the cream to be warm & the chocolate to be melty… Stir until smooth…. not all of the chocolate was melted but as I stirred it, it melted & the cream & chocolate combined nicely

Take the dessert out of the freezer & pour the chocolate frosting evenly overtop…I used an off-set spatula to spread the frosting over the cream. The top was not smooth so I put some sprinkles on top… which is optional,

Enjoy!
