Chocolate Chip Cookie Torte

If you are looking for a new dessert to try you might want to give this one a shot.   I adapted it from a recipe I found on Pinterest.  I have made it for several occasions and I always get rave reviews.  And best of all, it is super easy!  This dessert needs to be made a day ahead.  Note:  This photo is a miniature version of the dessert.

First of all you bake a batch of my favorite chocolate chip cookies found here:

Yummy Chocolate Chip Cookies

Be sure to bake the cookies a little bit longer so they are browned on the edges. You don't want them to be underbaked.  Let cookies cool completely.

Cream filling:
1 quart whipping cream
4 oz. softened cream cheese
1/2 c. powdered sugar
2 t. vanilla
raspberries or chocolate curls

Whip cream until nice and thick.  Mix in the rest of the ingredients.  Spread a thin layer of cream mixture on a cake plate to keep dessert from sliding off.  Arrange a layer of cookies on the cream.  Spread cream on the cookies.  Add another layer of cookies and then add another layer of cream.  Continue adding cookies and cream until you reach the height you want your torte to be. Reserve enough of the cream mixture to spread on your torte right before serving.  Cover lightly and refrigerate overnight.  Spread with remaining cream and top with raspberries or chocolate curls right before serving.  Slice into cake-like wedges and serve.  Makes 12-16 servings.
