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:

1. Prepare the Cream Filling: 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.
2. Assemble the Cake: 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.
3. Chill and Set: 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.
4. Serve and Enjoy: Once chilled and set, slice the cake and serve! For an extra indulgent touch, drizzle with chocolate syrup or melted chocolate before serving.

How to Serve Chocolate Ripple Cake

Serve the Chocolate Ripple Cake chilled. You can slice it into generous pieces and place them on dessert plates. Add a drizzle of chocolate syrup or melted chocolate on top for a special touch. This cake pairs well with fresh berries or a scoop of ice cream.

How to Store Chocolate Ripple Cake

Store the Chocolate Ripple Cake in the refrigerator. Cover it with plastic wrap or store it in an airtight container to keep it fresh. It can last for up to 3 days in the fridge, but the flavors will be best enjoyed within the first day or two.

Tips to Make Chocolate Ripple Cake

• For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate biscuits instead of regular chocolate ones.
• Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing; this will help create a smooth filling.
• Experiment with different flavored syrups like caramel or raspberry for a unique twist.

Variation

You can easily make a Coffee Ripple Cake by adding brewed coffee or coffee-flavored liqueur to the cream filling. Another option is to add crushed nuts or chocolate chips for added texture.
