 I cannot remember where I first found this receipe, but it has been a family favourite for along time.  The desert if often requested by my children for birthdays, special events and again it has been requested for Christmas Day in 2016.

One of the reasons this desert It is my favourite is because the preperation time is minimal, but the results are incrediably delicious.  It has to be one of the quickest, easiest recipes for a potentially favourite family desert that I have come across. 

Follow the instructions below to make it yourself - it is one of those recipes you will never forget once you have made it once.

Ingredients are simple:

1 packet of Griffins Chocolate Chippies Biscuits

Whipped Cream

2-3 Sprigs of Mint and Strawberry's to decorate

Alternative decorations I have used in the past are chocolate chips, blueberries, cherries.
 

Assembly is really simple:

1 teaspoon of cream between each biscuit and join to the next biscuit until you have used the entire packet - build directly onto the serving plate as the log is difficult to move.

Cover entire Chocolate Chippie Log with Whipped Cream

Decorate

Refrigerate for 3-4 hours before serving

ENJOY : )

Wishing you all a very merry christmas for 2016 and a happy new year.
