ingredients
- 3 cups heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

- 2 pints strawberries, 3/4 of them sliced (the rest for on top)
- unsweetened cocoa (or chocolate shavings)
directions
- In a large bowl, beat cream, sugar and vanilla with an electric mixer on high speed until soft peaks form.
- On a flat serving plate, arrange 7 cookies side by side in a circle, keeping 1 cookie in the center.
- Spread with 1/2 cup whipped cream, making a 7-inch circle. Leave the tips of the cookies showing.
- Spread layer of strawberries.
- Repeat with remaining ingredients, making 5 layers of cookies and 5 layers of strawberries and ending with a layer of cream.
- Crumble any leftover cookies.
