Total Time: 20 minutes
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: Not required
Yield: Depends on serving size, typically serves 8-10
Ingredients:
- 1 packet of chocolate ripple cookies (about 250g)
- 500ml of thickened cream
- Sweet sherry (or jelly, for children)
- Grated chocolate (for garnish)
Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Take a chocolate ripple cookie and quickly dunk it in sweet sherry. Alternatively, smear it with jelly for a kid-friendly version. This helps soften the cookies faster. |
| 2 | Spread a thick layer of cream on the smooth side of the cookie. Repeat this process with another cookie. |
| 3 | Sandwich the two cream-coated cookies together and stand them upright on a serving plate. Continue this process until all cookies are used, forming a log of alternating cookies and cream. |
| 4 | Once the log is complete, cover it entirely with a generous layer of cream. |
| 5 | Loosely cover the log with cling wrap and refrigerate for about 8 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the cake to set. The addition of sherry or jelly can expedite this process while adding extra flavor. |
| 6 | Before serving, decorate the chilled cake with grated chocolate or pipe extra cream around the edges for a decorative touch. |
Tips:
- For an extra indulgent twist, try adding a layer of Nutella or chocolate ganache between the cookies and cream.
- Experiment with different flavors of cookies or fillings to customize this dessert to your taste preferences.
- Ensure the cream is well chilled before whipping for best results.
- If you’re short on time, you can chill the cake in the freezer for a couple of hours to speed up the setting process.
Enjoy this delightful Chocolate Ripple Cake with friends and family at your next gathering. It’s guaranteed to be a hit! ๐
