Brandy Chocolate Ripple Cake Recipes

CHOCOLATE RIPPLE CHEESECAKE RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Place cookies into a ziplock bag and crush using a rolling pin until fine crumbs form.
• Pour cookie crumbs into a bowl with melted butter and mix until well combined.
• Pour crust mixture into a 9-inch (23 cm) springform cake pan. Use a measuring up to press the cookies to form an even base. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes.
• In a large bowl, whisk together cream cheese, sugar and vanilla until smooth.
• Heat the heavy cream until hot, then add the gelatin and let it rest for 1 minute.
• Slowly whisk in the heavy cream into the cream cheese until smooth.
• Working quickly, divide the cheesecake batter in 4 bowls with 3 cups (720 ml) in one bowl, 2 cups (480 ml) in a second, 2½ cups (600 ml) in the third, and 1 cup (240 ml) in the fourth.
• In the second bowl, whisk in 1 tablespoon of melted chocolate. In the third bowl, whisk in 3 tablespoons of melted chocolate, and in the fourth bowl, whisk in 2 tablespoons of chocolate. Each bowl should vary in color from one another.
• To assemble the cheesecake, slowly pour the contents of bowl 1 into the center of the pan. Once batter has spread repeat with the remaining bowls in numerical order. If your bowls have sat out too long, and aren't liquidy, microwave for 30 seconds before pouring.
• Cover the top of the pan tightly with plastic wrap and chill for 4 hours or overnight in the fridge before serving.
• Enjoy!

CHOCOLATE RIPPLE COFFEE CAKE

Steps:

• You can either make a ring shaped cake or a long log or you can make a shorter log using 2 rows of biscuits instead of one--you decide.
• Get a plate or pretty cake platter and put a dab of cream where you want to place your first biscuit.
• Dunk a biscuit in the coffee and then let excess coffee run of it.
• Place the biscuit side up and stand it in the cream dab you put on the plate.
• Dunk another biscuit in the coffee and then lather one side of it with cream, cement it sideways to the first biscuit you placed down.
• Continue in this fashion until you have created a rim of biscuits, or a long log, whatever you decided.
• Now cover the whole cake in the left over cream.
• All of the biscuits must be well smothered in cream, as the cream has to penetrate the biscuit and soften it.
• Place cake in fridge for at least 4 or 5 hours.
• Just before serving place crumbled flake on the top.
• You don't have to dunk the biscuits in the coffee if you don't want it to have a coffee flavour.
• It will still turn out fine.

BRANDY CHOCOLATE RIPPLE CAKE

Steps:

• Beat cream in a chilled glass or metal bowl using an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
• Dip a wafer cookie quickly into the brandy and place on a serving plate. Repeat and lay soaked cookies next to each other to create a cake-sized base layer.
• Top the cookie layer with a layer of whipped cream. Alternate layering cookies and cream until all the cookies are used. Cover the top and sides with remaining cream and smooth the top.
• Refrigerate for a few hours or, better, 8 hours to overnight. The cookies will soften and the cream firms up, making the cake easy to slice.

CHOCOLATE RIPPLE CAKE

Steps:

• Take a cookie and dunk it quickly in sweet sherry (or smear it with jelly for children) if you wish-this helps speed up the cookies softening.
• spread the smooth side of the cookie thickly with cream and repeat.
• Sandwich the two you have done together and stand them on a plate.
• Repeat this until all the cookies are used and you have formed a"log" of cookies and cream.
• Cover the entire log thickly with more cream and cover loosely with cling wrap before refrigerating for about 8 hours-as I said, the sherry or jelly speeds this up (and I like the added flavour of either) Decorate with grated chocolate, or pipe extra cream around the log before serving.
