Chocolate Mint Icebox Cake

• 1/3 cup loosely packed fresh mint leaves, rinsed, spun dry, and chopped fine, plus, if desired, mint sprigs for garnish
• 3 tablespoons sugar
• 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 cup heavy cream, chilled
• a 9-ounce package chocolate wafers

1. In a bowl of an electric mixer combine the mint leaves, the sugar, the cocoa powder, and the cream, beat the mixture until it holds soft peaks, and spread about 1 mounded teaspoon of it on one side of each wafer.
2. On a platter sandwich the wafers together on their sides to form a log and ice the log with the remaining cream mixture, covering it completely.
3. Chill the cake, covered loosely with plastic wrap, for at least 6 hours or overnight.
4. Cut the cake diagonally into 3/4-inch-thick slices and serve it garnished with the mint sprigs.
