Ginger Nut Log

This recipe is evil. I've seen more complicated versions out there, but this one make good use of the way the flavour of the ginger nut cookies and the texture of the cream come together.  I first made this when I was about nine, and it involved dipping the cookies in orange juice first. This is only necessary if you want this to set quickly.

This is not a low sugar meal, paleo meal. I need to work out how to make ginger nut biscuits before I can work out how to adapt this. I might be looking at something closer to a pie in the end.

Ginger Nut Log

1 pkt Ginger Nut biscuits
250ml whipping cream.

Instructions:
Whip cream til peaks form.
Lay out a sheet of foil.
Sandwich biscuits together with about 2tsp of cream and set into long, cylindrical formation.
Spread remaining cream over outside of the biscuit log, and use foil to roll into log.
Put in fridge for a few hours.
When ready to serve, pull the log out and unroll it.
Slice on the diagonal and serve on plates.


The flavours of the spice and ginger bleed a little into the cream, and the cream softens the biscuits into a cake-y but smooth texture. This dessert always reminds me of Christmas, so I would really like to retain it.
