Chocolate Zebra Log.
ingredients~~
1 packet plain chocolate cookies (not chocolate coated)
2 cups whipped fresh cream
1 � teaspoons vanilla
1 Tablespoon caster sugar ( superfine)
� cup grated chocolate ( I use dark chocolate)
1 cup sweet sherry.
glac� cherries halved
Method~~
add vanilla and caster sugar to whipped cream, stir until well mixed
Dip cookies in sherry, ( in and out) dont leave in sherry too long.
Spread one side of cookie with a little of the whipped cream.
Place on a platter cream side up.
continue with more cookies, continuing to pile all on top of previously done cookies.
When here are about 5 cookies high, turn over on side, thus forming a log, continue with more cookies until 'log ' is about 12 inches long.
cover the entire 'log with rest of whipped cream until all covered, top, sides and ends.
Sprinkle the top of 'log' with grated chocolate, doting the cherries along the log,
SErve chilled,
When slicing cut 'log' diagonally, this forms zebra type stripes.
Ah pretty, yum!
