Serves: 10

Ingredients

2 cups heavy or whipping cream 3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 small ripe bananas, diced (about 1 1/3 cups) 35 chocolate wafer cookies 3 tablespoons semisweet-chocolate pieces

Instructions

In large bowl, with mixer at medium speed, beat heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla until stiff peaks form. Spoon half the whipped cream into another bowl; cover and refrigerate.

With rubber spatula, gently fold bananas into remaining whipped cream. On one side of each of 5 chocolate wafers, spread about 2 heaping teaspoons banana-whipped cream. Stack wafers on top of each other. Top stack with a plain wafer.

Repeat stacking wafers on top of each other until all wafers are used, making 5 stacks of 7 wafers each. Turn each stack on its side; place stacks, one behind the other so that rounded edges overlap slightly to form a log on platter.

Frost log with reserved whipped cream and decorate with chocolate pieces. Cover and refrigerate at least 5 hours or overnight to allow wafers to soften.
