10. Chocolate Ripple cake
 Ingredients:

 Servings:
 Servings 6
 6-8 Servings
 Update.
 .Units: US | Metric
 .250 g chocolate cookies (not chocolate coated though)
 500 ml thickened cream, lightly sweetened and stiffly beaten
 sweet sherry or raspberry jelly (optional) Directions:
 1Take a cookie and dunk it quickly in sweet sherry (or smear it with jelly for children) if you wish-
this helps speed up the cookies softening.
 2spread the smooth side of the cookie thickly with cream and repeat.
 3Sandwich the two you have done together and stand them on a plate.
 4Repeat this until all the cookies are used and you have formed a"log" of cookies and cream.
 5Cover the entire log thickly with more cream and cover loosely with cling wrap before
refrigerating for about 8 hours-as I said, the sherry or jelly speeds this up (and I like the added
flavour of either) Decorate with grated chocolate, or pipe extra cream around the log before
serving.
