I want to make the dessert that you dip the biscuits into alcohol, put cream between each biscuit and cover with cream.Also what do you dip the biscuit into?Thanks,Heather.

heather230755, the dessert you describe has a number of names that really depend on the biscuits used - Gingernut Log, Chocolate Chip Log and I have also seen it called "Musca-Mate" - recipe below.
My DH makes the dessert you describe without a recipe using gingernuts, ginger wine or sherry and cream.Here is a personally untried recipe that may help you, for the same type of dessert .....
MUSCA-MATE 1 packet chocolate chip biscuits ½ cup muscatel or sherry - basically any cold liquid of choice can be used including fruit juice, fizzy drink, or of course, an alcoholic drink 1¼ cups cream, whipped
Dip (don't soak because the biscuits will become too soft and soggy) the biscuits, one at a time, in the wine, then spread each biscuit with the whipped cream. On a serving plate line up the creamed biscuits to form a log.Cover the log completely with whipped cream.Decorate as desired withe.g. chocolate chips, crumbled Flake bar, a dusting of cocoa or drinking chocolate or.....Refrigerate for at least an hour.
Hope that helps.:-))

I think it is called a biscotten torte-google it and see . have made one years ago but have no longer got the recipe . Remember it as a special treat!! I dipped the biscuits into a rum mixture - I used "Nice" biscuits i recall - good luck

Gingernuts dipped in pineapple juice.Mix crushed pineapple into the whipped cream between the biscuits.Mmm mmm.Shaped and decorated like a caterpillar, good for kids b'day cake.

We make this once a year (too rich for everday use!). My Mum made it in the 1950s, when it was called Christmas Log (gingernuts,sherry, whipped cream.)The recipe was published in the Dominion newspaper.Our current family version uses gingernuts and chocolate chippies alternated.Sometimes we use diluted brandy instead of sherry.The flavour is best after 24 hours in the fridge.

Thanks for that uke17.Must remember 24hrs in the fridge next time.The biscuits were still a bit firm after only 8 hours!Tasted good though.Thanks every body for your comments,Heather.
