Instructions

MAKE WHIPPED CREAM:

  1. Make the whipped cream:  With a hand mixer or in the bowl of a stand mixer, whip chilled coconut cream until it just holds soft peaks. Add powdered sugar (and vanilla if using) and whip to combine until stiff peaks hold. Set aside 1/2 cup whipped cream for topping.

ASSEMBLE THE CAKE:

  1. Spread a thin layer of the cream mixture in an 8 x 8 pan to coat the bottom. Place a single layer of cookies / crackers across the center of the pan and then break up 1 or 2 more cookies / crackers as needed to fill in the gaps.

  2. Spread half of the cream mixture on top. Sprinkle 1/3 amount of the shaved chocolate. Top with another layer of cookies / crackers, breaking them as needed to make them fit.

    Spread the remaining cream mixture over the top. Add another layer of shaved chocolate. ADD the final layer of cookies / crackers. Spread reserved cream evenly on top.

    Sprinkle on crushed cookie / cracker crumbs and top with monster cookies and M&M style candies, if desired. Drizzle with melted chocolate.

Recipe Notes

*To make this icebox cake in a 9x13 pan, increase the amounts by 1.5

This cake tastes bests on the day it is made. However if you have leftovers: 

How to store:  Store leftovers covered in the fridge overnight for up to 3 days.

For make ahead: Simply assemble in advance and store covered in the fridge overnight

How to freeze: Store in the freezer for up to one week. I wouldn't store it for longer than one month though as the cookies will soften too much and crumble.
