Tips and Tricks
Make sure to whip the heavy cream mixture until it becomes thick and creamy to achieve the right texture. It is important to refrigerate the dessert for at least 2 hours to allow the cookies to soften and the whipped cream to firm up. To make the dessert more flavorful, you can add a layer of sliced fresh fruit, such as strawberries or bananas, between the layers of whipped cream and cookies.Nutrition
