Just a Little Taste

My husband's birthday is the first week in January.  

We are usually feeling a little "full" food-wise this time of year.  

We have spent the last few weeks finishing off holiday leftovers

 and eating every last cookie, piece of peppermint bark and bag of 

candy that found their way into our house over the holidays. 

 And now-it's time for cake!  

I thought the traditional log version of an

  old-fashioned ice box cake would be the perfect solution.

It's fun for the kids to make, super tasty, and small enough that there 

wouldn't be any left to tempt us to continue eating the next day.

Ingredients:

• 1 package Nabisco chocolate wafers
• 1 pint heavy whipping crew
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 2-3 tbsp. powdered sugar

Whip together the heavy cream, vanilla and powdered sugar 

with an electric mixer to make a heavy whipped cream.  

Cover the top of each chocolate wafer with the 

whipped cream and then stack sideways to form a log.  

Cover the whole log with the remaining whipped cream

 and refrigerate overnight (or at least 5-6 hours).
