Last-Minute Desserts

That Impress

Whip up a sweet treat in less than an hour with these quick and easy recipes

JAFFA LOG

Prep 25 mins (+ refrigeration time) | Serves 6-8

600 ml thickened cream

½ cup (125 ml) orange-flavoured liqueur (see liqueur substitution tip)

250 g packet chocolate ripple biscuits

1 tsp cocoa powder

1. In an electric mixer or using handheld beaters, whip the cream until firm peaks form.

2. Place the liqueur in a small bowl. Dip one biscuit into the liqueur and submerge it for 5 secs. Allow the excess liquid to drain from the biscuit. Spread the biscuit with about a tbsp of cream. Dip a second biscuit into the liqueur for 2 secs and sandwich it with the first. Stand the two biscuits on their edge, on one side of a 35 cm-long serving platter.

3. Dip a third biscuit in liqueur for 5 secs and spread it with another tbsp of cream. Join it to the other two biscuits. Repeat this process, forming a log shape. Cover loosely with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 3 hours.

4. Just before serving, carefully spread the cream all over the outside of the log. Dust with the sifted cocoa. To serve, cut on the diagonal so that all the beautiful layers are visible.
