What do you girls save for purely Christmas? I make a Ginger Log, my kids love it and it is so easy to make.
You will need
1 packet Gingernut biscuits
1 Tub of double cream
Some Sherryu or some other alcoholic beverage but this goes well with the ginger.
An elongated dish.

Pour the sherry into a bowl
Open biscuits
Whip up the cream till stiff
dip buscuits into the sherry too absorb a little
Now Sandwich the biscuits together with the cream (like buttering bread)
and keep adding all the biscuits untill you have a log
Place in fridge over night
Next day use left over cream and cover the biscuits and decorate as you wish.
Yummy.
ENJOY

I think they are what we call Ginger Snaps here. This sounds delicious. Thanks for the idea

Eleanor Kliven's Christmas truffles that are to die for. They are so "rich" that I only make them once a year or I'd eat a pound at a sitting.
