CHOCOLATE & GINGERNUT RIPPLE CAKE

Steps:

• Beat Milo and cream together until stiff peaks form.
• Spread 1 side of a biscuit with Milo mixture and sandwich together to another biscuit. Place on a tray. Spread another biscuit with mixture and sandwich to the first 2, and continue with remaining biscuits to create a log shape.
• Optional: Dip each biscuit briefly in liqueur or milk before speading with milo mixture.
• Using a flat knife, spread remaining milo mixture over log to cover.
• Loosely cover with cling wrap and refrigerate overnight to allow biscuits to soften.
• Sprinkle log with grated chocolate. To serve, slice on an angle instead of straight across so you can see the layers of biscuit and cream.

CHOCOLATE RIPPLE COFFEE CAKE

Steps:

• You can either make a ring shaped cake or a long log or you can make a shorter log using 2 rows of biscuits instead of one--you decide.
• Get a plate or pretty cake platter and put a dab of cream where you want to place your first biscuit.
• Dunk a biscuit in the coffee and then let excess coffee run of it.
• Place the biscuit side up and stand it in the cream dab you put on the plate.
• Dunk another biscuit in the coffee and then lather one side of it with cream, cement it sideways to the first biscuit you placed down.
• Continue in this fashion until you have created a rim of biscuits, or a long log, whatever you decided.
• Now cover the whole cake in the left over cream.
• All of the biscuits must be well smothered in cream, as the cream has to penetrate the biscuit and soften it.
• Place cake in fridge for at least 4 or 5 hours.
• Just before serving place crumbled flake on the top.
• You don't have to dunk the biscuits in the coffee if you don't want it to have a coffee flavour.
• It will still turn out fine.

CHOCOLATE RIPPLE CAKE

Steps:

• Take a cookie and dunk it quickly in sweet sherry (or smear it with jelly for children) if you wish-this helps speed up the cookies softening.
• spread the smooth side of the cookie thickly with cream and repeat.
• Sandwich the two you have done together and stand them on a plate.
• Repeat this until all the cookies are used and you have formed a"log" of cookies and cream.
• Cover the entire log thickly with more cream and cover loosely with cling wrap before refrigerating for about 8 hours-as I said, the sherry or jelly speeds this up (and I like the added flavour of either) Decorate with grated chocolate, or pipe extra cream around the log before serving.

CHOC RIPPLE CAKE

Steps:

• Add sugar and a drop of vanilla essence to the cream and whip until very stiff.
• Join biscuits together by standing a biscuit on its side and sandwich with the next biscuit using a generous spread of cream. Continue until all the biscuits have been used and resemble a log.
• Cover the log/ring thickly and entirely with the remaining cream. Place in refrigerator for at least 6 hours to set.
• Before serving, decorate with crushed pepermint crisp.
• When serving, cut cake at a slight angle to ensure alternate layers of chocolate biscuit and cream are in each slice.
