Choc Ripple Variations?

[AndiE]

I have a friend who always uses gingernut biscuits for her ripple cake - she reckons it's great.

Other variations I use and/or know of:
- butternut snaps with crushed crunchie in cream
- choc biscuits with sprinkle of peppermint essence and crushed peppermint crisp in cream
- choc biscuits, sprinkle of alcohol on biscuits (ie, cointreau) with chopped strawberries in cream
- and I haven't made it, but I've seen a recipe for "black forest ripple" - choc biscuits, a dash of alcohol on biscuits (rum?), chopped black cherries in cream plus cherries and choc for top of ripple cake.

Whatever you use it's all yum, yum, yum!

Thanks Ladies.

I am definately trying it with my Gingernut Snaps today, now if I only had some Ferrero Rochers for on the top......

my sister dips the choc ripple biccies in baileys, and some butterscotch snap biccies in butterscotch schnaps and has a 'cowboy ripple' cake!

You can also use Peanut butter frosting (made with cream cheese) with chocolate ripple biscuits and create an amazing Peanut Butter & Chocolate ripple cake.

three packets of biscuits in the cupboard, and no cream - sigh!

Mmm. Yum. I've never made choc ripple cake, or any of its variations. I can see that's going to have to change.

I think I remember hearing that my nan used to dip the bikkies in orange juice, to give it a bit of a jaffa touch. Mmmm...
