Famous Chocolate Refrigerator Roll Cake

The kids all have very fond memories of their Grandmommy, Sara, making this delectable dessert, especially in Beaver Creek...it has become a tradition with our kids.  Cassidy couldn't wait to make it while in BC this last trip and she did an awesome job too.  You've got to make sure you get enough whipped cream between the chocolate wafers so they get soaked enough to expand properly.  YUM!!  


Grandmommy and Granddaddy ROCK!!  Thanks again Tom and Sara for the hospitality...We had such a wonderful time, as usual!!  =)

2 cups whipping cream

1 tsp vanilla

1 pkg (9oz) FAMOUS Chocolate Wafers

chocolate shavings for garnish (optional)

Beat the cream with the mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form.  Gently stir in vanilla.

Spread 1 - 1/2 tsp whipped cream onto each wafer; stack, then stand on edge on platter.  Frost with the remaining whipped cream.

Refrigerate at least for 4 hours, but it's better when refrigerated overnight.  Garnish with chocolate shavings.

Cut into diagonal slices to serve.

To Freeze:

Assemble as directed.  Freeze until firm.  Wrap tightly in plastic wrap.  Store in freezer up to 2 months.  Remove from freezer about 1 hour before serving.  Refrigerate until ready to serve.
