How to Make Cannoli Refrigerator Cake

  1. In a large bowl, beat together 16 ounces of cream cheese, 1 cup of powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy.
  2. Add 1/2 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder and mix until well combined.
  3. Gently fold in 2 cups of whipped topping.
  4. Spread half of the cream cheese mixture evenly into the bottom of a greased 9x13 inch baking pan.
  5. Arrange 30 Nilla wafers over the cream cheese layer. Drizzle generously with 1/2 cup of caramel sauce.
  6. Spread the remaining cream cheese mixture over the wafers.
  7. Repeat layers: 30 more Nilla wafers, 1/2 cup caramel sauce, and top with any remaining whipped topping.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the cake to set completely before serving.
