The preparation

6 steps, about 15 minutes start to finish.

  1. 01

    Spread a layer of Cool Whip or whipped cream on a chocolate wafer cookie.

  2. 02

    Stack another cookie on top and repeat, building a log or layered stack.

  3. 03

    Cover the entire outside with remaining Cool Whip or whipped cream.

  4. 04

    Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight so the cookies soften.

  5. 05

    Slice on a diagonal for a striped interior presentation.

  6. 06

    Serve chilled.

lightbulb The chef's notes

“The overnight chill is not optional, it is what softens the crisp wafers into cakey layers, which is the whole trick of an icebox cake. Slice it on the diagonal to show off those pretty stripes of cookie and cream.”
