Last night with the help of Sebastian and Joanna, we recreated a dessert I'd had many years ago at my godparents' house.
All you need is a packet of gingernut biscuits and some whipping/double cream. Start by whipping the cream with a generous splash of alcohol - we used whiskey, but rum would probably have been even better. Whip till holding it's shape, but be careful not to overwhisk.
Pour a little more of the alcohol into a shallow dish and the quickly dip both sides of a biscuit into it. Spread a little of the cream onto one side of the biscuit. Dip another biscuit into the alcohol and sandwich together. Place this on a service dish or plate with the biscuits standing. Continue spreading cream and sandwiching together the biscuits until you have a long sausage of sandwiched biscuits. Allowing a 4 to 5 biscuit portion per person, make it as long as you need.
Spread the rest of the cream over the top of the sausage and if desired, grate a little dark chocolate over the top. The longer you leave it to stand the soggier the biscuits become.
It is a quick and easy dessert to make, but be warned: it is VERY rich and remarkably intoxicating!!
Unfortunately, no pictures...
