Variations
Customize this recipe easily:

To make it richer, fold cream cheese into the mixture for a cheesecake-like texture.
For a coffee version, dip biscuits in cooled coffee before layering.
Storage
You can store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to three days. Cover the dish tightly to prevent the cream from drying out. Avoid freezing, as whipped cream desserts do not thaw well.
If serving for an event, make the dessert a day ahead for best texture and convenience.
