Out with the gals




Last night I went out to dinner with the Duffy Crew. 3 of us mums who live within a few doors/streets together. We were celebrating Miranda's bday so I made a no bake chocolate ripple cake. Recipe from a friend of my sister's. I completely stuffed it up but it was still delish. We ate at Lemon Grass in Woden which has the BEST Thai food in Canberra.
The no bake cake is
2 pkts Choc ripple biscuits (cookies)
1/2 C Tia Maria
1/2 C milk
300ml cream flavoured with 1tsp coffee, 1 tbs caster sugar, 1/2 tsp vanilla
Strawberries

Soak the biccies in the Tia Maria and milk and layer with strawberries and the flavoured cream.

I stuffed it up and forgot the milk for the 1st layer so just soaked the biccies in milk for the 2nd and 3rd layers. It was poetent but delish.

We also shared a bottle of champers and a 2003 cab sav from Centennial Vineyards in Bowral. SUPERB!
