Ingredients
  

For the Cake
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 ounce packet double chocolate hot cocoa mix
  • 16 sheets honey graham cracker
  • 1/3 cup French vanilla creamer
  • 1/2 cup sliced fresh strawberries

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Whisk together the heavy whipping cream and the cocoa mix in a large bowl until smooth.
  2. Beat the mixture on low speed until frothy, then on high speed until stiff peaks form, about 1 ½ minutes.
  3. Set the whipped cream aside and break the graham cracker sheets in half to create squares.
  4. Crush eight graham cracker squares and set aside.
  5. Spread about 1/3 of the whipped cream on a platter, about 8 inches long and 3 inches thick.
  6. Dip each cracker square lightly into the French vanilla creamer, allowing excess to drip off.
  7. Spread 1 to 2 teaspoons of whipped cream on one side of the cracker and stand it vertically on the platter.
  8. Continue with remaining graham crackers, pressing each frosted cracker against the last to form a log shape.
  9. Frost the top and sides of the log with the remaining whipped cream mixture.
  10. Insert toothpicks to help the structure stand and cover loosely with plastic wrap.
  11. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  12. Before serving, sprinkle the top with crushed graham crackers and fresh strawberry slices.
  13. Slice on a diagonal to reveal layers.

Notes

Keep stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. Daily sitting enhances flavor. For extra flavor, add crushed nuts or mini chocolate chips between layers. Try banana slices or different flavored creamers for variations.
