Ginger Grundy

I used to make something similar. Mine had crushed rich tea biscuit base, and then a layer of butter cream. Whipped cream and crushed pineapple.

I think Blinko was just joking

oops ?

I think Blinko was just joking

My grandmother used to make it for my mother, hence the search for the recipe as her birthday is coming up. Not everything in life is about calories and I feel sorry for you if you think of everything in that manner. Let alone the fact one dessert would make no difference. Take your negativity elsewhere .

Blinko lets face it, it's not something you would even think about if you were watching calories. It's not something I would make for every day, but it sounds quite nice as a pud for a special occasion when people are visiting. But not if you're counting the calories.

Calorie free, is it?

I also saw one where the cream/ginger mixture was used to sandwich the biscuits together to create a roll, then covered with the rest of the cream mixture and stem ginger.

Never heard of it , sounds delicious ?

I used to make a dessert with almost the same ingredients.

300 ml fresh double cream, whipped
1 packet ginger biscuits
375g tin of crushed pineapple drained
Whipped cream and stem ginger to decorate

Drain the pineapple, saving the juice in a shallow bowl. Dip each biscuit into the juce and pile them up, with a spoonful of crushed pineapple between each biscuit. Turn the pile on its side and cover it with whipped cream, decorated with stem ginger. Eat it fairly soon, as the colour seeps through from the bicuits to the cream and spoils the effect (but it still tastes great)

Found this one - sounds yum, never heard of it before
