Oh gawd I saw this too and didn't manage to get the recipe down as I was feeding lil miss at the time - would love the recipe too please... I'm sure it was just warm cream poured onto chocolate bits, then she added whipped cream...

I too, wonder what channel this programme was on, and was it a repeat? I recall from many years ago that Jo Seagar had a series of cooking programmes on TV, one of which included a cake? dessert? that used Cameo Cremes (2-3 packets I think) - maybe this was the same programme repeated and if so, somewhere I believe I have the recipe because at that time all the programme's recipes were printed in one of our weekly magazines.:-))

didnt see it but have found this? CHOCOLATE CAMEO MOUSSE CAKE
375 grams packet chocolate dark melts 2 cups cream 2 packets of cameo cream biscuits (extra whipped cream and shaved chocolate to garnish)
To make CHOCOLATE CAMEO MOUSSE CAKE • Grease and line the base of a 20cm springform cake tin with paper. • In a double boiler saucepan or easier still the microwave, heat the chocolate and 1 cup of cream together until chocolate has melted • Stir until smooth and cool 5 minutes. • Place one packet of cameo creams in the food processor and run machine to finely crumb them. • Add 2 tablespoons of the chocolate cream to moisten the crumbs further - press into the base of the springform cake tin. • Whip the 2nd cup of cream until soft peaks form. • Gently fold cream and chocolate mixtures together. • Pour approximately 1 cup of this over the biscuit crumb base. • Break up or roughly chop the remainder of the biscuits and sprinkle over a layer. Repeat with the chocolate cream then biscuit layer twice finishing with a chocolate cream layer. • Cover with plastic cling film and refrigerate at lease 12 hours (overnight). (Cake may be frozen at this stage, allow 4 hours to soften).
To serve: run a thin hot knife blade around the edge of cake and remove, slide tin carefully, lift off base and paper and position on a serving plate. Top each portion with a dollop of whipped cream and shaved chocolate.

And I have now found the recipe, as it appeared in "New Idea", from Jo's 1999 series of cooking programmes- the quantities in that recipe are
375g packet dark chocolate melts 2 cups cream Cameo Cream biscuits - only 1 packet !! extra whipped cream and shaved chocolate to garnish
This note is at the end of the recipe "The recipe is easy to double if you have a larger tin and require a bigger dessert" - it's obviously an adaptable recipe but surely a smaller dessert with less biscuits would not need as much chocolate and cream?? I still think though that when Jo made it on TV that she used 2 or 3 packets biscuits, so griffo4 as you have made the cake, what quantities did you use? Obviously you enjoyed it so can we assume that you were totally happy with the end result and the quantities you used?:-))

I have made this for several childrens birthdays, and have used a few different types of biscuits, oreos are popular it is great because it keeps in the freezer so can be made well in advance or is ideal for a slow eater.

In the New Idea it does say 1pkt of cameo cremes but in her book "You shouldn't have gone to so much trouble, darling"the recipe states 2 pkts. I would think there may have been a mis print in the Magazine.!! Cheers :) ps...I have most of her books!!! Yep I am a recipe-a-holic!!! :)

If you're a recipe-a-holic, trademequeen, then I must be one too - I also have most of Jo's books. I never thought to look in her books for that recipe, I just remembered that I had kept those recipes from New Idea, and I was really surprised to find that the New Idea version was only one packet because for some reason I recall Jo using 2 or more packets on TV.:-))

I have been making Jo Seagars Cameo Mousse Cake for over 10 years so it must be a pretty old programme LOL
