1 1/2 c. heavy cream
1 tbsp. sugar
1 1/2 tbsp. sweet sherry (optional)
1 box Nabisco chocolate wafers
Chopped pistachio nuts, or walnuts (optional)

Whip the cream until stiff. Add the sugar and sherry, and whip again. Spread the cream mixture on the wafers, putting them together in stacks of five. Make one long roll by placing the stacks on edge, on a long serving platter. Cover the outside and ends with the remaining cream and sprinkle with the nuts. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours. To serve: cut at a 45 degree angle, which gives you a 7 layer cake effect. Serves 8.
