Polar Expretzel
- Cooking spray
- 3 cups vanilla wafer cookies (about 45)
- 1 1/4 cups salted mini pretzels
- 4 cups cold heavy cream
- 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
- 1 cup dulce de leche or caramel sauce
- Coat an 8-inch-square baking dish with cooking spray and line with plastic wrap, leaving an overhang on all sides.
- Combine the vanilla wafers and pretzels in a large zip-top bag; crush with a rolling pin until you have coarse crumbs with some large pieces.
- Transfer to a medium bowl.
- Beat 2 3/4 cups heavy cream in a large bowl with a mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form, about 2 minutes.
- Sprinkle in 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar and continue beating until just stiff, about 1 more minute.
- Mix 1/2 cup of the whipped cream and 3/4 cup dulce de leche in a small bowl, then fold the mixture back into the remaining whipped cream until combined.
- Mix 2 cups of the dulce de leche whipped cream into the cookie-pretzel crumbs.
- Spread half of the remaining dulce de leche whipped cream in an even layer in the prepared dish.
- Drop spoonfuls of the cookie-pretzel mixture on top and gently smooth with an offset spatula or your fingers.
- Top with the remaining dulce de leche whipped cream and smooth the top.
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 8 hours or overnight.
- Uncover and invert onto a platter; remove the plastic.
- Beat the remaining 1 1/4 cups heavy cream with a mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form, about 2 minutes.
- Sprinkle in the remaining 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar and beat until stiff peaks form, about 2 more minutes.
- Spread on top of the cake.
- Put the remaining 1/4 cup dulce de leche in a microwave-safe measuring cup; microwave until pourable, 20 to 30 seconds.
- Drizzle over the cake.
