Servings 10 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 lb cherries pitted and halved
  • cherry jam as needed
  • 3 cups cream
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp cherry liqueur optional
  • 1 9 oz box chocolate wafer cookies
  • hot fudge sauce

Instructions
 

  • Pit and halve the cherries. In a stand mixer with the whisk, add the cream, sugar and vanilla with a pinch of salt and a dash of cherry liqueur if using and whip until nearly stiff peaks.
  • In the bottom of a 9 inch spring form pan, or a glass bowl, put a small amount of the whipped cream. Add a layer of chocolate cookies. Top with some of the cherry jam and some fresh cherries and drizzle with a bit of the fudge sauce. Repeat these layers until you use up your ingredients, ending with whipped cream.
  • Decorate the top with a few fresh cherries, some cookie crumbs, and a drizzle of fudge, or some chocolate shavings.
  • Put the icebox cake into the fridge for at least 6 hours up to overnight so that the cookies have time to soften. Then serve!
