How to Make Chocolate Gingernut Ripple Cake

  1. In a large bowl, beat 1/2 cup Milo powder with 1 cup of heavy cream using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. (Approximately 3-5 minutes)
  2. Spread a thin layer of the Milo mixture onto one side of a gingernut biscuit. Top with another biscuit to create a sandwich.
  3. Repeat step 2 until all biscuits are used, creating a long log shape. You may need around 16-20 gingernuts depending on their size.
  4. Optional: For extra flavor and moisture, briefly dip each biscuit in 1 tablespoon of milk or your favorite liqueur before spreading with the Milo mixture.
  5. Using a spatula or flat knife, spread the remaining Milo mixture evenly over the entire log, ensuring it's fully coated.
  6. Loosely cover the log with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight (or for at least 4 hours) to allow the biscuits to soften and the flavors to meld.
  7. Before serving, sprinkle the chilled cake generously with 1/4 cup of grated chocolate.
  8. To reveal the beautiful ripple effect, slice the cake at an angle instead of straight across.
