Ingredients
- 1 lb fresh strawberries , washed, dried, sliced thin
- 4 cups heavy whipping cream
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 packages Chips Ahoy Thins , about 56 cookies (SEE COOKIE NOTES)
- extra berries for garnish
Instructions
- Wash and dry the strawberries well. Slice them thinly and set aside.
- With a hand mixer or in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whip attachment, add in the 4 cups heavy whipping cream, 3/4 cup powdered sugar, and 2 tsp vanilla extract. Start on low-medium speed, them move up to high when the powdered sugar has dissolved.
- Whip until stiff peaks form- this could be as fast as 1 minute so watch out not to let the cream curdle. You'll know its ready when you flip the whip over and the cream can stand on its own.
- Spread a thin layer of cream in the bottom of a springform pan. Layer 14 cookies on top of the cream, pushing them to touch the sides of the pan to allow them all to fit.
- Slather on another layer of whipped cream and this time top it with sliced strawberries.
- Continue alternating whipped cream with chocolate chip cookies and strawberries. Finishing with a topping of whipped cream.
- Cover with plastic wrap and place in the freezer for a minimum of 4 hours. Overnight is best. You can make 1 week ahead.
- Take the cake out 5-10 minutes before you plan to serve it. Use a knife or offset spatula along the edges of the pan to release it.
- Top with more fresh berries and crushed up cookies.
Notes
You'll need the whole pound of strawberries for the cake, if you want to garnish, you'll need to buy extra.
You need to use a thin cookie otherwise it will be too hard to cut and bite into the cake. I used Chips ahoy thins and they were perfect! By 1 1/2 boxes.
