ALDI cookie cake

Chocolate Ripple cakes are awesome and easy but unfortunately ALDI doesn't sell Chocolate Ripple biscuits so what should we do?  THEY DO SELL Chocolate Chip Cookies so lets improvise and create something even better.

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
