GMTV'S Richard Arnold Ripple

Here's the Masterchef Recipe:

Chocolate Ripple Cake

Ingredients 300mLs cream 1 tsp caster sugar 1 tsp vanilla essence 1 packet chocolate chip ripple biscuits Orange liqueur 1 peppermint crisp chocolate bar

Method 1. Place the cream, sugar and vanilla in a bowl. Using an electric mixer, beat until firm peaks form.

2. Using a pastry brush, brush each biscuit with orange liqueur.

3. Join the biscuits together with a little of the whipped cream, lying on the side to create a log. Cover the entire log with remaining whipped cream. Place in the fridge for 6 hours to allow the flavours to develop.

4. Decorate the log by crumbling crushed peppermint chocolate down the centre. Slice on an angle to serve

Yes, I've always made it with whipped cream between the biscuits and on top with the liqueur in the cream.

On the show she dipped the biscuit into the sherry then used the cream poured into a bowl (not whipped) to sandwich the biscuits together and then the whipped cream to go over the log - I was taught to use whipped between and on top but it will be interesting to try!

btw i can't wait to try it....how simple is that!!

i am assuming one carton of the cream (whipped) is to use between the biscuits to form the log......the other carton of cream (once again whipped) is to completely cover the log before refrigerating.....

this recipe does not make sense!!??? what do you do with the other 500ml of cream that you have poured into a bowl?? put it in the cupboard???? "Pour one of the containers of cream into a bowl and whip until stiff. Pour the other into a bowl."
