ICEBOX CAKE

Steps:

• In the bowl of an electric mixer using a whisk attachment, whisk the heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff.
• Crush one-third of the wafers by hand or with a rolling pin inside a resalable plastic bag until they become coarse crumbs. Set aside.
• In a round 9-inch springform pan, layer in one-third of the whipped cream, smoothing evenly with a spatula. Then layer half of the remaining flat whole wafers close to each other, then one-third more of the whipped cream, then the remaining whole wafers and finally top with the rest of the whipped cream. Garnish the top of cake with the crushed wafers.
• Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours.
• Run a paring knife around the springform pan and release the wall of the pan from around the cake. Leave the cake on the bottom of the pan and transfer to a serving dish or cake stand, then slice and serve.

Steps:

• Using an electric mixer on medium-low speed, beat 3 cups cream, 3 Tbsp. powdered sugar, and salt in a large bowl until soft peaks form.
