Step-by-Step Instructions for Perfect Assembly
Making the chocolate ripple cake is easy and fun. Begin by whipping heavy cream with icing sugar and vanilla until it's fluffy. This whipped cream will hold your dessert together.
Preparing the Whipped Cream Mixture
In a big bowl, mix 2 cups of heavy cream, 1/3 cup of powdered sugar, and 1 and 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla extract. Use a mixer to whip it until it's stiff, about 3-5 minutes. Don't overbeat it, or it will turn into butter.
Layering Technique for the Perfect Log Shape
To make the ripple cake, stack 5 Oreo Thins with whipped cream in between. Place the stacks on a cream-lined platter to form a log. Make sure the layers are tight for a solid shape.
Setting and Chilling Guidelines
After assembling, cover the cake with the rest of the whipped cream. Chill it for at least 3 hours for a crunchy texture. For a softer cake, chill it for 8 hours or overnight.
For a quicker version, crush the Oreo Thins into crumbs. Mix them with the whipped cream and press into a mold. Chill as before for a no-bake treat.
