Ingredients

300 mlCream
2 TbspIcing sugar
1 TbspStrong coffee, use up to 2Tbsp
12Anzac biscuits, use up to 14 (Main)
75 gDark chocolate, melted

Directions

  1. Whip the cream and icing sugar until stiff peaks form. Paint a line of whipped cream down the centre of a long serving plate. This will help the biscuits to stay upright.
  2. Fold the coffee into the remaining whipped cream. Take 1 biscuit and spread the underside generously with the coffee cream. Sandwich together with another biscuit. Stand upright on the serving plate. Spread the second biscuit with whipped cream and continue sandwiching the biscuits together until a long log is formed.

FAQs

What makes Anzac biscuits crunchy or chewy? ›

According to taste.com.au Food Editor Miranda Payne, the traditional Anzac biscuit was the harder, crunchy version. Over time, the original recipe was modified with variations being cooked for less time (making them chewier) or adding more sugar (so they're super crispy).

Why is my Anzac biscuit mixture crumbly? ›

Texture - The biscuit dough has to be just right. If while mixing, you feel that the dough is too dry and crumbly and you are not able to shape it into rounds, add more liquid (this can be either in the form of a tablespoon of melted butter or just a tablespoon of boiling water).

Why didn t my Anzac biscuits flatten? ›

Don't let the mixture stand around.

So, make sure you roll and bake the mixture as soon as possible after mixing to make rolling and flattening of the biscuits easy. If it does get a little dry you can just mix in another tablespoon or two of water to help make it a little more pliable before shaping.

What country invented Anzac biscuits? ›

The origin of Anzac biscuits is contested between Australia and New Zealand, similar to the dispute over pavlova. The actual recipe for the biscuit has been found long before the formation of the ANZAC Corps, and many of the first recipes for Anzac biscuits differ from the modern version.
