Notes
- Don't use milk in place of the whipped cream. You need the whipped cream for the mousse like consistency of the filling.
- While I used chocolate sauce, you could use magic shell chocolate to top it instead.
- Make sure the cookies are totally cool before you fill them so the filling stays set.
