There’s something irresistibly nostalgic about a ripple cake. Those soft, chocolatey layers bound together with clouds of cream, chilled to perfection, then sliced into sweet, swirly slabs of joy. But this isn’t just any ripple cake. This is a grown-up twist on the classic made for coffee lovers, and does double duty for those who believe dessert should come with a caffeine kick.
Infused with Veneziano Coffee Roasters’ premium Instant Elevate Coffee, each biscuit is dipped in rich, aromatic brew before being sandwiched with whipped vanilla cream. It’s creamy, dreamy, and effortlessly chic, but best of all? You don’t even need to turn on the oven. Just 20 minutes of prep, a bit of fridge time, and you’ll be rewarded with a dessert that looks like you spent hours on it. Perfect for entertaining, gifting, or just treating yourself on a slow Sunday afternoon.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 packet (250g) Arnott’s Choc Ripple biscuits
- 600ml thickened cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 200ml hot water
- 3g (approx. 1 heaped tsp) Veneziano Coffee Roasters Instant Elevate Coffee
- Optional: fresh berries, dark chocolate shavings or cocoa powder for topping
- 1 can Veneziano Coffee Roasters Iced Mocha in a Can (to serve)
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Make the Coffee Soak
Follow the instructions on the Elevate Instant Coffee jar:
Add 3g of coffee to 200ml of hot water, stir until dissolved, then allow to cool slightly.
2. Whip the Cream
In a mixing bowl, whip 600ml of thickened cream with 1 tsp vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
3. Assemble the Cake
Dip each Choc Ripple biscuit into the cooled coffee briefly (1–2 seconds), then layer with whipped cream between each biscuit, forming a log or circular wreath on your serving dish.
4. Cover the Cake
Once assembled, cover the entire log with the remaining whipped cream using a spatula.
5. Decorate
Top with chocolate shavings, a dusting of cocoa powder, or crushed biscuits.
6. Chill and Serve
Refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the biscuits to soften into a cake-like texture.
Slice and enjoy your Coffee Choc Ripple Cake with a Veneziano Iced Mocha in a can for the ultimate coffee hit.
