Ginger Cream Biscuit Log
A Ginger Cream Biscuit Log is a sweet, spiced dessert made by layering ginger-flavored biscuits, typically soaked in a liquid (like milk or coffee), and then filling them with a creamy filling, such as whipped cream or buttercream. The log shape is created by stacking the biscuits and rolling them into a log, then often chilling the dessert to allow it to set. The final product is typically decorated with extra cream, chocolate, or a dusting of cocoa or powdered sugar for added flavor and visual appeal. It combines the crispness of ginger biscuits with the smoothness of the cream filling, making it a popular treat for various occasions, especially during the holiday season.
Ingredients
- 600ml Bulla Thickened Cream
- 60g (1/3 cup) icing sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp finely chopped glacé ginger
- 250g packet gingernut biscuits
- 60ml (1/4 cup) fresh orange juice
- 60ml (1/4 cup) ginger wine
- 2 tbsp caramel topping
Instructions
- Use electric beaters to beat the cream, sugar and vanilla until firm peaks form. Use a large metal spoon to fold in half the chopped ginger.
- Spread a little of the ginger cream down the centre of a serving plate to help the biscuits stand up. Crush one of the biscuits and set aside.
- Combine the orange juice and ginger wine in a shallow bowl. Dip 1 of the remaining biscuits in the ginger wine mixture. Stand upright on the plate and spread 1 side with cream. Dip another biscuit in the ginger wine mixture and place alongside the first biscuit and sandwich together. Spread with cream. Continue layering with the cream mixture, wine mixture and remaining biscuits to form a log. Spread remaining cream over the log. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 6 hours to chill.
