Chocolate-Mint Icebox Cake*

By mamapig

Ingredients

• 1 3/4 cup heavy cream, chilled
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 3/4 tsp. mint extract
• 1 pkg (9 oz) chocolate wafers
• 1 cup miniature chocolate chips

Preparation

Step 1

Make the mint cream: With an electric mixer, beat heavy cream, sugar, and mint extract until stiff peaks form

Line a serving platter with two sheets of wax paper side by side. Assemble the cake: Spread each wafer with about 1/2 tablespoon mint cream, forming stacks. Lay stacks horizontally along seam of paper, pressing gently to form a log. With small spatula or knife, cover log with remaining mint cream. Refrigerate at least 4 hours or up to 2 days

To serve, gently remove wax paper from underneath cake (holding cake in place with a metal spatula, if necessary), and sprinkle with chocolate chips. Slice cake diagonally with a serrated knife.
