When the sugar has browned, add the juices and let simmer on a high heat until the mixture has reduced to thin syrup. Peel and half the bananas and saute them in the syrup. When the bananas start to get soft, raise the heat and add the Grand Marnier and ignite the alcohol and serve over the ice cream.

I don't do much sweet making, but this a a quick and simple chocolately great dessert. And best of all it is quick to make.

One package of Chrisites Chocolate Wafer slims.

One pint of whipping cream - buy more if you love whipped cream.

Simply whip up cream to firm consistency,ie moderately firm peaks . Then put a dollop of cream on a biscuit, then the next one, etc. Build up into any shape you want. Like a Yuletime log. Or a heart shape. Or a Christmas tree shape. Cover outer biscuits completely with whipped cream. You can use sprinkles of various colors over the top - or chocolate rose buds, or green candied Xmas trees, let your imagination soar!

Must refrigerate for at least 3-4 hrs for the whipping cream to soak into and soften the biscuits.

Please use Real Whipping cream - none of that artifical stuff.

In England I think your Double Cream whips up like our whipping cream here in North America.

Note: Will NOT freeze well. Use up in 2 or at maximum 3 days time.
