I have made this one a few times now (thanks to an amazing friend who gave me her recipe) and it is a massive hit every time. The first time I made this, it took me soooooo long as I tried to get it all perfect looking but realised that once you covered it in cream, it really doesn't matter what is underneath. So this time, in a hurry I just slapped it together, biscuit, jam, cream, biscuit, jam & cream. Covered the whole thing in cream & in no time it was in the fridge waiting to be carved the next day.
Of course, you can make a small cake but with only an extra packet of biscuits, you can double it and there is enough to feed a large group.
COST $7.70 to make a dessert that will feed approx 10 - 12 people.
ALDI COOKIE CAKE
- 600ml thickened cream
- ½ cup caster sugar
- 2 x 200g pkt choc chip biscuits
- 1 cup raspberry jam
- 1 cup pitted morello cherries (jar)
In a large bowl, beat cream & caster sugar with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
Spread a little cream over the base of a large plate. Spread a biscuit with a generous amount of jam & a heaped teaspoon of cream.
Sandwich 2 biscuits together & place upright on your plate. Repeat process with jam & cream, sandwiching biscuits together to make a log of approx. 12 biscuits long.
Repeat process to make 3 logs, leaving a couple of biscuits aside.
Once you have 3 logs on the plate, add cherries into the remaining cream & stir to combine. Cover entire cake with cream. Crush remaining biscuits over the top of cake.
Refrigerate overnight to allow the biscuits to soften. Slice diagonally to serve.
I hope you enjoy this cake as much as we do and I would love to hear your feedback.
Cheers
Amanda
