My mother said that her mother got this recipe from a member of her bridge
club….probably around 1910. It’s been a
family favorite ever since. Make a day
ahead.
Buy Nabisco Famous Chocolate wavers and whipping cream.
Whip the cream…I am using my 1939 Sunbeam Mixmaster. Whip it until it is very stiff.
Line a layer of cookies up on several plates.
I’m sorry to tell you that
I don’t have exact amounts. I buy two
pints of cream, and about five packages of the chocolate cookies.
Put a heaping spoonful of
whipped cream on each cookie, then put another cookie on top. Press down gently. Do it again and again until the stack is about
4 ½ to five inches tall.
Put one dollop of cream on the top, and refrigerate them all until the
following day. 24 hours lets the
moisture in the whipped cream soften the cookies creating heaven.
The kids and I used to eat
all around the circle, and the person whose center was standing longest was the
winner. What the prize was, I don’t know…but
we had fun tho. We call them "Leaninng Towers of Pizza."
Yummy! I love cream and the wafers must be delicious with it. I must try!
ReplyDeleteRemember, only the two items.
DeleteOh my gosh! My mouth is watering. But how do you fit that in your mouth? A layer at a time?
