Rating: 5 stars I just had to lessin the liquid for the cake to be a bit thicker.

Rating: Unrated Delicious cake .

Rating: Unrated This is my Mom's birthday cake, except she uses the original Nabisco chocolate wafers recipe, without mint or chocolate chips. Sometimes we sprinkle the top with chocolate shavings for a similar, less crunchy effect. I prefer it a bit sweeter by using Cool Whip instead of real cream. We also make it much simpler, by making one long stack, alternating wafer and whipped cream, and then slice it at an angle for the same lined effect. Sometimes these wafers are with ice cream cones in the store.


Rating: Unrated I have made this cookie over the years which was always a family favourite and now the grandkids love it. At Christmas Time, I give it a few food colour drops of green and make an extra large one in the shape of a Candy Cane. I then drizzle it with chocolate and candy cane broken up and sprinkled on top. Everyone loves it.

Rating: Unrated My mom made this all the time growing up and it is so simple and good. Never had the mint or chips added, but that sounds like it would change it up a bit and sounds great.

Rating: Unrated There should be a recipe right on the box of the Nabisco Famous Cohocolate Wafers. Online it is at http://www.nabiscoworld.com/recipes/recipe.aspx?recipe_id=53331


Rating: Unrated Google Nabisco Famous chocolate wafers. We never used mint or the chocolate chips on top.

Rating: Unrated These instructions are very badly written. The 'stacks' should be vertical not horizontal. What are 'chocolate wafers?' Chocolate biscuits or chocolate covered after dinner mint type things. Luckily I know how to make this or I would be very confused. I have used ginger biscuits and dipped them in coffee before smothering them in cream.

Rating: Unrated are "chocolate wafers" the same as oreos? is there a similar product without the oreo filling?

Rating: Unrated Delicious. I made a double recipe, so it ended up being a square cake (about the size of a double layer cake) instead of a roll. Everyone was impressed and it was really easy.

Rating: Unrated Do you freeze this? It looks to die for and I want to try it, but I don't want to mess it up. Reading that you're supposed to be able to cut it, but it's made of whipped cream is what is confusing me... will someone that has made it please help!

Rating: Unrated My mother made this (without the mint flavoring) from the recipe off the Nabisco Famous Wafers and it was called "Igloo Cake." One of our favorites.

Rating: Unrated Use the chocolate animal crackers, for THE cheapest way to go. Let sit a bit longer, but delish

Rating: Unrated In my grocery store, they are in the cookie/cracker aisle.

Rating: Unrated lakeover8 you might want to try chocolate graham crackers or 100 calorie Oreos they are crispy

Rating: Unrated Does anyone know where to find these wafers to make this wonderful dessert? I have made it for years, however, can no longer find the wafers.

Rating: Unrated My family has made this for years, and it was always called 'Icebox Cake' When I worked at Smith College in Northampton, Ma. they called it 'Zebra Pudding' What ever you call it, or if you add mint, it is just wonderful.... Try it, it will become a family favorite, Pam, New London, NH

Rating: Unrated we make this down in Australia but call it 'chocolate ripple cake' We use chocolate ripple biscuits which go lovely and soft like cake. Rather than use mint essence we stir broken up nestle peppermint crisps through the cream YUM!

Rating: Unrated Some grocery chains offer a 'dutch fudge' type cookie. They are not crisp, which shouldn't matter because the dessert winds up soft anyway, but they are larger and thicker, so they would be more cakey than the original. Archway also makes a dutch fudge cookie, but they are thicker than the store brand ones. It might be worth a try.

Rating: Unrated What about the thin mints from Girl Scouts? Im more than certain the cookies can be kept in the freezer as well...so you might want to stock up...YUMMY! Good luck

Rating: Unrated Unfortunately, these Nabisco cookies are not available between the Mississippi river and the Rocky Mountains. I called the company. Does anyone know of an acceptable substitute besides scraping the middles out of Oreos? They can be ordered through Amazon, but that is expensive.

Rating: Unrated UH -- I seriously think this would be the perfect dessert ANY TIME OF THE YEAR!!!! Thanks for slways being so COOL!!
