Contributed byMeribah Howarth
Sliced chocolate refrigerator roll with white cream filling on a white plate, topped with chocolate shavings.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 package Nabisco chocolate wafers (use only 20 to 25 wafers, or else increase cream mixture)
  • shaved chocolate, cinnamon candies or red candied cherries (opt., for decoration)
  • holly (opt., for decoration)
Yield: 12 Servings
Prep Time: 4 hours 30 minutes

Instructions

Whip cream with sugar and vanilla until stiff. Spread wafers with part of cream, sandwiching them together to make stacks of 4 or 5. Then sandwich the stacks together, standing on edge to make one long roll. Frost outside of roll with remaining cream. Refrigerate at least 3 hours. Decorate with shaved chocolate or with cinnamon candies or red candied cherries and holly to make a festive yule log. Cut diagonally at 45° angle to serve. Rolls may be frozen, if desired. Remove from freezer to refrigerator about 1 hour before serving. 

The wafers are available at Rife's
