Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams chocolate ripple cookies
- 500 ml heavy whipping cream
- 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 30 grams dark chocolate (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, add the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract.
Using an electric mixer, beat the cream mixture until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip.
Spread a thin layer of whipped cream onto the serving platter as a base to prevent the cookies from sliding.
Take one chocolate ripple cookie and spread a generous amount of whipped cream onto one side.
Stand the cookie upright on the platter and press another cookie into the whipped cream layer, slightly angling it to form a line.
Repeat the process with the cookies and whipped cream until you have a log-shaped 'cake'. Use any remaining cookies and whipped cream to make smaller logs, if desired.
Spread the remaining whipped cream over the entire surface of the cookie log to cover it completely.
If desired, finely grate dark chocolate over the top of the cake for decoration.
Refrigerate the cake for at least 6 hours or preferably overnight. This allows the cookies to soften and meld with the cream to create a cake-like texture.
When ready to serve, slice the cake diagonally to show the ripple pattern created by the cookies and whipped cream.
