Friday of Blue and White weekend gave State College some of the most beautiful weather of spring semester. It was the start of the weather gods giving us many gifts this past weekend...blue and white weekend with bare minimum rain just seemed unheard of until this weekend! In excitement of this beautiful weather, my friend and I hosted a family dinner for some of our friends. Along with a the generic fettuccine alfredo and chopped Greek salad, we got creative with our dessert.
Being on a college budget as well as only having rare groceries available to us - we decided to make something fancy but let no one realize how cheap it was!
Our ingredients list was very simple:
2 containers of Cool Whip
(unsweetened) Cocoa Powder <-- eyeball this based off of your chocolate preferences
1 package of chocolate chip cookies
1 bowl of milk
In order to make this delicious dessert in a bowl start to mix the cool whip and cocoa powder, don't overwhip it because your cool whip will begin to melt. In a cake pan or pie tin, paint a layer of the cool whip. You can add just as much cocoa powder as you'd like, we liked it chocolatey so we added a little more than what I have listed. After this you want to dip the chocolate cookies in the milk so they are submerged for about 2 seconds at max. You don't want them to be soggy because they're going to break before you set them into the cool whip. Make a layer of the cookies and MAKE SURE to put the cool whip into the freezer while you layer your cookies - the cooler the better! Keep adding layers until you run out of cool whip or even the cookies! Its best to let the cake sit in the fridge for at least two hours before you want to cut into it, it'll be firm in terms of setting but the cookies will be nice and soft from the milk and the layers of cool whip around it!
This is a cool treat that does not take very much time to make, let me know if you do anything different! You could even leave the cool whip plain and soak the cookies in chocolate milk! :) Let me know what you think!
