Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pour heavy cream into a bowl. Whip with an electric mixer or by hand until stiff peaks form, about 2 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Sift cocoa powder and powdered sugar together, then fold gently into whipped cream with vanilla until no streaks remain.

  3. Step 3

    Brush one side of each chocolate wafer with melted butter, then arrange 6 wafers butter-side up in a single stack on a plate.

  4. Step 4

    Spread 2 tbsp chocolate frosting on top of the first wafer layer, then place another wafer butter-side up on top.

  5. Step 5

    Repeat layering until all 6 wafers are stacked with frosting between each. Spread remaining frosting over the entire stack.

  6. Step 6

    Top with fresh strawberries and serve immediately. Stack will soften slightly as wafers absorb moisture from frosting.
