Icebox Cupcakes

Earlier this week I talked about a SUPER easy and YUMMY dessert I had made over the weekend.  I have finally gotten time to post about it.  =)  I will start off with showing you these:

These are chocolate wafers made by Nabisco. I purchased them at Publix and they located on an endcap where all the icecream cones and such were displayed. The box has the recipe on it! It calls for a 16ounce container of cool-whip (I used the light) and REAL vanilla extract and the cookies! Woo-hoo, only THREE ingredients! I can handle this. =) The one step that I changed was rather than making the log cake roll they picture on the package, I layered 4 cookies and the filling in cupcake wrappers. Individual sized portions if you will.  (You will still need to eat them with a fork.) 

But hey, let's not try to fool anyone here. I did it strictly out of convenience. It just sounded easier! I made these for fathers day.  All you do for this is mix the whip cream and vanilla and layer it in between the cookies. You do have to make this a little in advance. The wafers are crispy! So once you make the cupcakes you place them in the fridge for the day. Take them out and the chocolate wafers are now soft, like CAKE layers! =) And it's pretty Yummy. You can garnish with all sorts of things.  Strawberries, sprinkles, chocolate shavings.  You decide!  I left ours plain because I have a picky little girl.  ;-)  
This makes a quick and tasty dessert for the summer time.  I hope you make some of them and enjoy as much as we did!
