Very Easy Chocolate Yule Log

2 cups whipping cream or Cool Whip Whipped Topping, thawed
2 Tbsp. icing sugar
1 tsp. vanilla or peppermint extract, OR
2 Tbsp. rum or brandy
1 pkg. (200g) Mr. Christie's Chocolate Wafers (in the US these are
probably branded "Nabisco". They are like the chocolate biscuit from an
Oreo but larger and flatter)
cocoa, for dusting

Whip cream with sugar and extract until stiff peaks form OR add extract to
thawed whipped topping. Spread whipped cream generously on each chocolate
wafer and stack in groups of 6 wafers. Place wafer stacks end to end on a
serving platter to form a log.
Frost top and sides with remaining whipped cream to resemble bark on tree.
Chill at least 4 hours or overnight.
If desired, cut 2-inch diagonal slice from log and place on the top or
side of the log to form a limb. Dust with cocoa. Serve in diagonal slices.
