Directions

  1. Beat cream in a chilled glass or metal bowl using an electric mixer until soft peaks form.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

Recipe Note

Ripple cake is a popular Australian dessert, the equivalent of an American icebox cake. In Australia, chocolate ripple biscuits are used, hence the name. In the US, you need to substitute Nabisco® chocolate wafers. No baking required, and it includes a generous serving of brandy.
