    Chocolate Ripple Cake is such a classic dessert and you are really going to love this festive version!

    Why you will love this recipe:

    • No Bake – you won’t need an oven or cooktop to make this recipe.

    • Versatile – you can decorate your Chocolate Ripple Cake however you like!
    • Family Friendly – the whole family will love this recipe!

    Chocolate Ripple Cake Ingredients:

    Please note you will find the full ingredients and method in the recipe card below.

    • Cream – you will need thickened cream for this recipe. Light versions of cream cannot be used as you will not be able to whip them.
    • Chocolate Ripple Biscuits – to make the Christmas Chocolate Ripple Cake pictured, you will need two packs of biscuits. You can certainly make your cake smaller if you wish.

    Some options to decorate your cake:

    • Christmas M&M’s – alternatively you can pick out the green and red M&M’s from a regular pack!
    • Maltesers
    • Chocolate Mint Balls
    • Mint Leaves
    • Raspberry Lollies
    • Flaked chocolate

    How to Make a Christmas Chocolate Ripple Cake:

    1. Whip the cream until soft peaks form.
    2. Smear some cream on your serving plate
    3. Sandwich the biscuits with the cream and place on the plate. Repeat until you have the desired shape.
    4. Cover the cake with the remaining whipped cream.
    5. Cover and place in the fridge to chill for a minimum of six hours.
    6. When ready to serve, decorate and enjoy!

    Tips for Making this Recipe:

    • You will need thickened cream for this recipe – light versions will not work as they cannot be whipped.
    • You will need 2 x 600ml bottles of cream to make a cake as pictured.
    • Also, you will need two packs of Chocolate Ripple Biscuits for this recipe.
    • The size and shape of this recipe can be varied.
    • To cover, I suggest placing toothpicks around the cake and covering with cling wrap so that it is not touching the cream.
    • I also suggest decorating the cake just prior to serving as some of the decorations (M&M’s in particular) can run or discolour whilst stored in the fridge.
    • This recipe is best made the day before it is needed.

    Equipment

    • Electric Mixer
    • Large Serving Plate

    Ingredients
      

    • 400 grams Chocolate Ripple Biscuits you will need two packs
    • 900 mls Thickened Cream
    • ¼ cup icing sugar 40 grams
    • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract

    Decorations

    • 50 grams M&M's
    • 50 grams Flake Chocolate
    • 80 grams Maltesers
    • 50 grams Mint Chocolate Balls
    • 75 grams Rasperry Lollies

    Instructions
     

    • Pour the thickened cream into a large bowl, add the icing sugar and vanilla extract and use an electric hand mixer to whisk the cream until soft peaks form.
    • Smear a little of the whipped cream onto the base of a large serving plate to make a circle – this will be your guide for arranging your wreath.
    • Place a little cream between two chocolate ripple biscuits and stand them on your plate in the cream.
    • Repeat until you have completed your wreath.
    • Use a spatula to spread a thick layer of cream all over your Chocolate Ripple Cake – you want to make sure it’s covered well and you can’t see any of the biscuits.
    • Carefully cover the cake (I use toothpicks to hold up the cling wrap) and place it into the fridge for a minimum of 6 hours to allow the cream and caramel to soften the biscuits.
    • When you are ready to serve, decorate with your favourite lollies and chocolates
