How to Make Chocolate Ripple Cake
Ingredients:
- 1 package (300g) chocolate ripple biscuits or any chocolate wafer biscuits
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 250g cream cheese (softened)
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 2 tbsp milk
- Chocolate syrup or melted chocolate (for drizzle, optional)
Directions:
In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with cocoa powder and milk until smooth and creamy. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined and smooth.
On a large serving platter, place one layer of chocolate ripple biscuits to form a base. Spread a generous layer of the cream mixture over the biscuits. Repeat the layers: biscuits, then cream, until all the biscuits and cream mixture are used, finishing with a layer of the cream mixture on top.
Cover the cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the cake to set and the flavors to meld.
Once chilled and set, slice the cake and serve! For an extra indulgent touch, drizzle with chocolate syrup or melted chocolate before serving.
