You know it’s an Adam Ragusea video when he reminds you that brown sugar is just white sugar and molasses

[@correadoggsten]

And then gets the molasses all over the jar in the process of pouring, disproving the convenience of his method

[@8cupsCoffee]

Not a fan! Molasses has a really strong smell

[@itsROMPERS...]

I tried doing this, and too often put in too much molasses which is really gross.

[@TamarLitvot]

According to Glen of Glen and Friends, this is not quite correct. Some brown sugar is just granulated with molasses, but some is sugar before final refining. Since all my brown sugar is in a brown sugar saver container (bought from King Arthur and it really works), I can’t check the ingredients. And it likely depends on the store - I’m going to compare brown sugar from chain grocery, Trader Joe’s, and a local organic food chain.

[@romeothompson9389]

@@correadoggsten idk I still think it’s more convenient and honestly the worst part about brown sugar is when it clumps up and gets hard making your own in really small batches eliminates that problem

For those that don't want to use malted milk powder to stabilize the whipped cream, you can use 1/8 to 1/4 cup of confectioner's sugar, depending on sweetness desired, per cup of heavy whipping cream, and leave out the granulated sugar. For me, the confectioner's sugar whips in better, and the bit of cornstarch in confectioner's sugar also stabilizes the whipped cream extremely well. I'll store any unused whipped cream in a sealed container in the fridge, and it remains like when I first made it for a week. I don't know if it would last longer than a week because it doesn't get a chance to sit around unused longer than that in my kitchen.

[@isaacT_01]

damn

[@Virginiafox21]

My family makes this every year for Christmas, we use a packet of gelatin to stabilize the whipped cream. You dissolve it in water then microwave until melted, then cool slightly and add to cream before whipping. It sets up great and will last for a bit outside the fridge while people are milling around. Malted milk powder sounds like a great flavor addition though.

[@Memotag]

instant pudding powder is another good stabilizer of whipped cream. The pre-gelled cornstarch in the instant pudding powder makes the final product more stable than regular cornstarch. Plus the instant pudding powder includes the sugar.

[@EnglishStrippedBare]

Right on, Tim. That is actually how I do my whipped cream as well. Works amazingly well and tastes great.

This brings back yummy memories 😋 I'm Australian, and we had this cake made with biscuits (cookies) that were called Chocolate Ripple biscuits. The cake was made in log form and cut on the diagonal, and was called, and great thought went into the name: Chocolate Ripple Cake!

[@brendaleelydon]

I like making this cake, but instead of all whipped cream, i whip the cream, then stir in mascarpone or cream cheese or creme fraiche. I think traditionally people would dip the cookies in some kind of liqueur (I've also heard of people using orange juice!) before adding the whipped cream, but if you're using Famous Chocolate Wafers you're gonna have to work fast, cuz they'll start to mush almost immediately! lol You can lightly brush them once it's on the stack, if you want, or just use a different kind of cookie, either Adam's homemade ones here, or something like a Chips Ahoy. Smearing a light layer of jam or preserves before the whipped cream is nice too (I usually thin the jam with a bit a water or milk). A layer of ganache over the whole thing (after it's set up in the fridge for a while) is a lovely & decadent addition! I first heard of this from The Stone Soup, a blog by a woman in Australia, & it's served me very well & even won me a couple prizes at family get-togethers! 😁😆🤣

[@riverAmazonNZ]

I have been preaching the joys of this dessert for years! My fave version uses hard ginger cookies, dipped in sherry, coated with lightly sweetened vanilla whipped cream, topped with chocolate shavings. Second fave uses chocolate chip cookies, dipped in cold espresso.

[@legato500]

Man that Voyage Home reference made my day

[@ZephWraen]

My aunt made a Graham Cracker Icebox cake every year for Christmas, and her trick was to mix some French Vanilla Instant Pudding with the Whipped Cream (1:1). Topped with some chocolate icing, and it was delicious. When I made it I subbed out the icing for Nutella. The icing when cooled made a bit of a crunch texture and that was lost with the switch to Nutella but I think the flavor worked better.

One of our family favourites since forever has been a "cookie log". Chocolate chip cookies, dunked in OJ, sandwiched & smothered in whipped cream. I never knew it was so popular since no-one else I've met knew about it.

[@erikharrison]

Love Adam's recipes, I don't think this one is for me. I think icebox cakes have a wonderful texture on their own, and cold mini chocolate chips tear up my mouth. If I want more contrast in my icebox cakes, I use some unsoaked cookies for crunch, but if the ratio of wafer to whipped cream is right, I get wafers with a pudding like texture that is still slightly firm and dry in the middle. They will sog out after another day or so, I just make sure there isn't any leftovers. Milk powder (malted or otherwise) in desserts is a baller move, regardless

[@sarat9567]

Omg I LOVE cold chocolate chips!!!!!

[@MA22]

The chocolate chips will have been melted in the oven, though, which means that they will not be nearly as hard to bite through. You could also just choose not to have them

[@teganevans]

I'm intrigued by the firmer cookies rather than the soft wafers but I 100% agree that cold chocolate chips are just not good. I can't stand chocolate chips in ice cream etc. It seems like a rare opinion considering how common they are in cold desserts but I want my chocolate chips warm in something fresh baked or not at all

[@AnnaReed42]

I agree with all of this. I definitely want to try the malted milk powder cream but I will keep the store-bought wafers.

[@thegoodwitchluzura]

Recipe?

[@Da-Creams]

@@thegoodwitchluzura Recipe in grams: - 200 cream - 100 milk - 21 sugar - 20 honey - 40 malted milk powder (sifted) - 1 tsp vanilla bean paste (plus half a bean scraped and steeped overnight) - 1/4 tsp salt - PB chocolate malt ball bits - Candied kettle chips - Pretzel Grit swirl Heat everything just until the sugar is dissolved then chill before churning. This makes about a pint but I doubled it to fit my machine better. To make the candied chips, combine sugar, butter, corn syrup in a 1:1/2:1/4 ratio. I used 100, 50, 25 grams. Melt in microwave until pretty warm and coat your chip pieces. Then bake at 300 F for about 15 min. To make the pretzel grit, I did the same thing just left out the corn syrup and added the sugar and some salt to 200 grams crushed pretzels. Then add melted butter and toss before baking at 325F until fragrant.

Multi-generational staple of any family holiday dinner however , we lay the wafers sideways to create a "log" ,cover with the whipped cream and cut to serve on the diagonal to get the stripe effect. Just add abit of vanilla or "boozy" flavour you want to the cream . Discovered afew years ago that if you use spice cookies it comes out tasting like pumpkin pie.

[@batt3ryac1d]

Malted milk in the whipped cream is a fantastic idea. A couple times my mum made a similar cake but you dip ginger nuts(gingery biscuits that are hard as rocks and amazing) in rum really quick and the build the cake with whipped cream like normal. Cause they're such hard biscuits they still have a little texture after the dip in rum and overnight soak in the whipped cream and its delicious cause rum and ginger blend so well.

In Australia we often use a "choc ripple biscuit" cookie for this rather than wafers. While it lacks the choc chips, it is quite a bit more like the cookies you baked.

Looks like mini graham cracker cakes. For anyone familiar, you make pudding, you could make only one kind or a mix of kinds that go well together (family tradition is chocolate and pistachio), you spread that over the crackers and stack them together into a log, which you then cover completely in pudding, and then cover the whole thing in cool whip or whipped cream. There's a lot of leeway with flavors, we've done chocolate graham crackers and mint pudding too, despite tradition, and just straight chocolate works fine too.
