Ingredients 

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • ¼ cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 16-18 Marie Biscuits
  • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Optional chocolate shavings optional
  • strawberries or fresh mint for garnish

Instructions

  • Put the biscuits into a blender and pulse until they’re fine crumbs. If you don’t have a blender, you can put the biscuits into a medium-sized plastic bag, and pound them with a rolling pin
  • Pour the heavy cream into a bowl, then the vanilla extract and whip until it starts looking fluffy
  • Add sweetened condensed milk and continue whipping until you’ve got stiff peaks. Be careful not to overmix or you’ll end up with sweetened butter
  • In individual size glasses, alternate layering the whipped cream and biscuit crumbs
  • Begin and end with the cream and depending on the size of your serving dish, aim for between 5-7 layers
  • To make it easier, spoon the cream it into a plastic bag and cut off one of the bottom corners for easy spreading
  • End on the whipped cream and sprinkle a light layer of the crushed biscuits as garnish
  • Cover the desserts with a plastic wrap and refrigerate for 3-4 hours or preferably overnight to allow the cookies to soften
  • Remove from fridge 15 minutes before serving and garnish, if desired top with chocolate shavings, strawberries or fresh mint
