Whip heavy cream in a large bowl until soft peaks form.

Add sugar and vanilla extract to the whipped cream, then continue whipping until stiff peaks form.

In another bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth.

Gradually mix in milk until well combined and creamy.

Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.

Prepare a baking dish by layering chocolate wafer cookies at the bottom.

Spread a layer of the cream mixture over the cookies.

Add another layer of cookies on top of the cream mixture.

Repeat layering cookies and cream mixture until all ingredients are used, finishing with cream on top.

Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.

Before serving, garnish with fresh berries and chocolate shavings.
