    2      cups          whipping (heavy) cream
      1/4  cup           packed brown sugar
      1/2  cup           finely chopped black walnuts
                         or pecans
   33                    graham crackers
                          -- (each 2-1/2 inches
                          square)
 
 Beat whipping cream and brown sugar in chilled large bowl until 
 stiff. 
 Fold in walnuts. Spread small amount of whipped cream mixture on 
 each of 3 crackers. Arrange crackers, frosted sides down and 
 with edges touching to form a rectangle, on serving plate. 
 Spread rectangle with about 1/4 cup whipped cream mixture. Layer 
 with 3 crackers. Repeat layers 9 times. 
 Gently press torte together. Carefully turn torte on its side 
 with spatula  so crackers are vertical. Frost sides and top with 
 remaining whipped cream mixture. Refrigerate at least 6 hours 
 (torte will mellow and become moist).
