If liked, the vanilla essence and icing sugar for the whipped cream can be replaced with ½ cup lemon curd or 3 tablespoons Kahlua.

Ingredients

1 ¾ cupsCream (Main)
3 TbspIcing sugar, for the cream and extra to dust over the finished cake
1 ½ tspVanilla essence
18Brandy snaps (Main)
75 gDark chocolate, melted
6Strawberries, hulled and halved (Main)
1 small handfulMint, to garnish

Directions

  1. Whip the cream, icing sugar and vanilla essence, until thick.
  2. Pipe the cream into the brandy snaps. Spread a little on the centre of a serving plate to prevent the brandy snaps from slipping.
  3. Top with a single layer of 6 brandy snaps alternating the wider and thinner ends to keep them as even as possible.
  4. Place another layer on top then a final layer. Drizzle with the cooled but still liquid chocolate. Top with the strawberries, dust with the extra icing sugar and garnish with mint.
  5. Chill for at least an hour before serving.
