Ingredients

  • 1 litre heavy whipping cream
  • 1 1/2 cups Eagle Brand® Sweetened Condensed Milk
  • 400 grams thin chocolate wafer cookies I used two 200 gram boxes
  • 3-4 cups pitted chopped fresh cherries, plus 12 whole cherries for garnish
  • dark chocolate shavings for garnish optional

Instructions

  • In the bowl of your stand mixer, or in a large bowl with a hand mixer, whip the whipping cream on high speed until it reaches the soft peaks stage.
  • Continue whipping the cream on high speed and slowly add the Eagle Brand® Sweetened Condensed Milk in a steady stream until the mixture reaches hard peaks (be careful not to over-whip...you definitely don't want the mixture turning into butter!).
  • Place a layer of thin chocolate wafer cookies in the bottom of a a 9x13 rectangular pan. Top the wafer cookies with a thin layer of the whipped cream mixture and sprinkle half of the chopped cherries evenly over the whipped cream mixture.
  • Add one more layer of chocolate wafer cookies, another layer of the whipped cream mixture, and the rest of the chopped cherries.
  • Add the last layer of chocolate wafer cookies and top with the remaining whipped cream mixture, smoothing it out on the top.
  • Cover the cake with some plastic wrap and place it in the fridge for at least 24 hours to set.
  • Once you're ready to serve, simply remove the cake from the fridge and uncover it, arrange the fresh cherries on top so there's one for each slice, and crumble a few of the leftover wafer cookies on top, or top with some shaved dark chocolate.
  • Serve immediately, and enjoy!
