- 600 ml thickened cream heavy whipping cream
- 1 tsp caster sugar optional
- 1 tsp vanilla extract optional
- 250 g Arnott's Choc Ripple biscuits see notes
- fresh raspberries, Peppermint Crisp bars and Flakes to decorate
Instructions
Conventional Method
- Place the cream, caster sugar and vanilla extract into a bowl. Beat with handheld beaters or a stand-mixer until soft peaks form.
- Spread some of the whipped cream along the base of your serving dish.
- Hold one chocolate ripple biscuit in your hand. Spread a teaspoon of whipped cream onto the flat edge and place another chocolate ripple biscuit on top. Repeat until you have a stack of 3-4 biscuits in your hand.
- Place the stack standing upright onto the cream on the serving plate. Repeat with another 3-4 biscuits and then join that stack to the serving platter to form one long log.
- Repeat until all of the biscuits have been used.
- Use the remaining whipped cream to spread over the entire outside of the log.
- For best results, place in the fridge overnight before serving (as this will allow the biscuits to soften).

Adding 1 tsp of caster sugar and 1 tsp of vanilla extract to your cream will add an extra sweetness to your whipped cream.

Alternatively you can substitute them with any plain, sweet chocolate cookie.
Refrigerate overnight (or for at least 6 hours) to allow the biscuits to soften.
Use a large, long rectangular serving dish to prepare/serve your chocolate ripple cake.
For an alcoholic version, add a little Baileys or Kahlua to your whipped cream.
For something different, substitute the chocolate ripple biscuits for gingernut biscuits.
For a Christmas twist, make your chocolate ripple cake into a wreath shape.
