• Repeat this process until there are no biscuits left.
• You will have a biscuit, cream, biscuit sandwich effect With the remaining cream, cover the entire log in cream.
• Grate the chocolate and cover the entire log Now wrap the log in the aliminum foil and place into the freezer until ready to be used.

CHOCOLATE BISCUIT LOG RECIPE

Steps:

• Place the cream in a pan over a medium heat and bring up to a simmer. Remove from heat and add the chocolate and stir. The chocolate will melt in the heat of the cream. Crumble in the biscuits and stir to combine thoroughly. Empty the chocolate mixture onto a shallow plate and allow to cool in the fridge for approximately 2hours.
• Once firmer to touch but still mouldable, empty the ganache onto a work surface and roll out into a long log shape. Roll this into a sheet of clingfilm, wrap it up and put back in the fridge for 30mins. Once ready to serve, unwrap and with a sharp knife slice into 1cm discs and serve.

Steps:

• Have ready an oblong dish which will be your serving dish.
• Place sherry or liquid of choice in a shallow bowl.
• Beat the cream with the golden syrup and cocoa until firm and holds it shape.
• Dip quickly a biscuit into the liquid of choice (dont soak) and spread one side with the cream.
• Do a second biscuit and sandwich together.
• Stand these on the serving dish on their edge.
• Continue until all bisciuts are used and you have a 'log'.
• Spread remaining cream over the log to enclose the biscuits.
• Decorate as desired. I like to put a row of glace red cherries along the top then sprinkle with chocolate chips or shaved chocolate.
• Place in fridge for at least 2 hours if possible although can be eaten soon after making, it just wont be as soft.
• Note:.
• This can also be made using plain sweetened whipped cream.
