Well, it has been some time since I posted a baking article, so here is one just in the nick of time for all those Christmas festivities. Remember the age old 'chocolate log cake' from childhood BBQ's and pot luck dinners? Well, this beautiful festive dessert has taken the traditional chocolate log and turned it into a Christmas wreath.
Simply grab two packets of chocolate ripple cookies at the supermarket, and a generous tub of cream. Don't forget your chosen lolly decorations. (I used Cherry Ripe, Spearmint leaves and jaffas)
Whip your cream with an electric or hand held mixer and proceed to create chocolate ripple cookie 'sandwiches' with the cream in the shape of a circle on a large plate.
Cover the entire wreath with cream and decorate in any way that seems creative to you.
Too easy ! (And too yummy!!)
I had never had Chocolate Ripple cake till your mum made some & brought it to work the other day! Wow! That wreath looks gorgeous & delicious! Merry Christmas to you and family :)
