Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 250g Arnotts Choc Ripple biscuits (or any chocolate cookies)
- 600 milliliters (20 fluid ounces) thickened cream (heavy whipping cream)
Sweeteners and Flavoring:
- 1 teaspoon caster sugar (superfine sugar)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Decoration:
- Easter eggs, for decorating
Instructions
- Whip cream in a mixing bowl, blending cream, sugar, and vanilla until delicate, billowy peaks emerge, creating a cloud-like texture.
- Prepare the serving platter by gently spreading a gossamer-thin layer of whipped cream across its surface, establishing a smooth foundation.
- Construct biscuit towers by generously coating one side of each biscuit with cream, then carefully stacking 3-4 biscuits vertically, ensuring they adhere seamlessly.
- Arrange these biscuit columns side by side on the platter, positioning them closely to form an elegant, interconnected log structure.
- Enrobe the entire biscuit log with a luxurious, even coating of remaining whipped cream, ensuring complete coverage and a refined appearance.
- Transfer the assembled dessert to the refrigerator, allowing it to rest and soften overnight or for a minimum of 6 hours, enabling the biscuits to absorb the cream’s moisture.
- Just before presenting, embellish the chilled cake with festive Easter eggs, creating a whimsical and celebratory visual display.
Notes
- Cream Consistency Matters: Whip cream just until soft peaks form to avoid over-beating, which can make the texture grainy and butter-like.
- Biscuit Selection: Choose rectangular plain biscuits like Arnott’s Nice or Marie for best layering and absorption of cream.
- Chilling is Crucial: Allow sufficient refrigeration time so biscuits soften completely and develop a cake-like texture.
