Ingredients
- 2 pkts griffin's chocolate chip cookies or similar biscuits
- 750 ml cream
- 2 Tbsp icing sugar optional, depending on sweetness
- 1 tsp vanilla essence
- ½ cup L&P soft drink
- ½ cup sherry you can use just one liquid if preferred — milk, juice, cola, lemonade, or any fizzy all work.
- fresh strawberries halved
- 1-2 chocolate flakes crumbled, for topping
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whip the cream with icing sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form.
- Gather a nice serving dish and spread some whipped cream on the bottom. This will help the biscuits to stand on their edge.
- Set up two shallow bowls — one with L&P and one with sherry.
- Dip each biscuit briefly (1–2 seconds only) into the liquid.
- Arrange dipped biscuits in a vertical line on your serving board or plate. The biscuits will stand up in a line on its edge. (best to watch how on the video). Spread whipped cream between each biscuit to help them stick together.
- Once assembled, cover the entire log with the remaining cream. Use a spatula to smooth the outside.
- Press halved strawberries around the base for decoration.
- Sprinkle generously with crumbled chocolate flake over the top.
- Refrigerate for 4-8 hours, but best overnight— this allows the biscuits to soften into a cake-like texture.
- Slice and serve chilled.
Notes
Stacey's Kitchen Tips:
- Only dip the biscuits quickly — too long and they’ll fall apart
- L&P gives a fun, fizzy, nostalgic Kiwi flavour
- Sherry adds warmth and depth for the adults (but totally optional)
- This dessert actually tastes better the next day after resting overnight
- Strawberries add freshness and a lovely Christmas look
- Flavour it your way: Use milo, milk, lemonade, ginger beer, or coffee.
- Make it chocolatey: Add cocoa to the cream or drizzle chocolate sauce on top.
- Go fully fruity: Swap the strawberries for raspberries or cherries.
- Boozy option: Use Baileys or Kahlua for an adult-only version.
