Preparation duration: 1215 minutes

 

Ingredients:

2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped

1 1/2 cups halved and pitted cherries

1 (9 ounce) package Nabisco Famous Chocolate Wafers

8 ounces cream cheese, softened

2 1/2 cups heavy cream

3/4 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla

Equipment:

food processor

stand mixer

bowl

Cooking instruction summary:

Place the bowl and beater of a stand mixer in the freezer for 10 minutes. If you aren't using a stand mixer, place a bowl and the beaters of a hand held mixer in the freezer. Pulse the cherries in a food processor until finely chopped. In the chilled bowl, beat cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth. Beat in vanilla. Slowly pour in heavy cream and beat, over medium speed, until stiff peaks form. About 3 minutes. Don't over beat or the cream will have a butter consistency. Remove half of the whipped cream and set aside. Gently fold the chopped cherries into the remaining half of whipped cream. To assemble the cake, lay one wafer flat on your serving platter, top with about 2 teaspoons of the cherry whipped cream, top with another wafter to build a small tower. Continue building the tower with 19 more wafers. Turn the tower on it's side on the serving platter. Build another tower with the remaining cherry whipped cream and 20 more wafters. Lay that tower on it's side next to the other tower. You will have two cookie logs. Spoon and spread the reserved vanilla whipped cream over the top of the logs until they are completely covered. Sprinkle with chopped chocolate. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours. Overnight is best. Slice on the diagonal and serve.

Food Joke

Two women had been having a friendly lunch when the subject turned to sex. "You know, John and I have been having some sexual problems," Linda told her friend. That's amazing!" Mary replied, "So have Tom and I. We're thinking of going to a sex therapist," said Linda. "Oh, we could never do that! We'd be too embarrassed!" responded Mary. "But after you go, will you please tell me how it went?" Several weeks passed and they met met for lunch again. "So, how did the sex therapy work out, Linda?" "Things couldn't be better!", Linda exclaimed. "We began with a physical exam, and afterward the doctor said he was certain he could help us. He told us to stop at the grocery store on the way home and buy a bunch of grapes and a dozen donuts. He told us to sit on the floor nude, and toss the grapes and donuts at each other. Every grape that went into my vagina, John had to get it out with his tongue. Every donut that I ringed his penis with, I had to eat. Our sex life is wonderful, in fact it's better than it's ever been!" With that endorsement, Mary talked her husband into an appointment with the same sex therapist. After the physical exams were completed the doctor called Mary and Tom into his office. "I'm afraid there is nothing I can do for you," he said. But doctor," Mary complained, "You did such good for Linda and John, surely you must have a suggestion for us! Please, please, can't you give us some help? Any help at all?" "Well, OK," the doctor answered. "On your way home, I want you to stop at the grocery store and buy a sack of apples and a box of Cheerios..."
