No-Bake Black Forest Cream Dessert
This No-Bake Black Forest Cream Dessert brings together layers of chocolate, cherries, and whipped cream for a decadent treat that requires minimal effort.
Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup cherry pie filling
- 2 cups chocolate wafer cookies, crushed
- 1/2 cup chocolate shavings
Instructions
- In a large bowl, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. This should take about 3-4 minutes with an electric mixer.
- In a serving dish (such as a trifle bowl or individual dessert cups), layer half of the crushed chocolate wafer cookies at the bottom.
- Spread half of the whipped cream mixture evenly over the cookies.
- Spoon half of the cherry pie filling on top of the whipped cream layer.
- Repeat the layers with the remaining ingredients: cookies, whipped cream, and cherries.
- Finish with a generous sprinkle of chocolate shavings.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set.
Notes
For cleaner layers, chill the dessert for 30 minutes between each layer addition. This helps prevent the ingredients from mixing too much.
