Categories     3-Ingredient Recipes     Ginger     Cake     Cookies     Orange     Milk/Cream     Dessert

Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 cups heavy cream
42 gingersnap cookies (about 10 ounces), divided
3/4 cup orange marmalade, divided

Steps:

  • Using an electric mixer on medium-high speed, whip cream to stiff peaks in a large bowl.
  • Arrange 10 cookies in a circle (8 around the edge and 2 in the middle) on a cake stand or large plate, breaking 1 center cookie to fit. Top with one-quarter of whipped cream, spreading gently almost to edge of cookies (you'll want to see them peeking out). Dollop one-quarter of marmalade over. Repeat with 30 cookies and remaining cream and marmalade to make 4 layers, ending with marmalade.
  • Place remaining 2 cookies in a resealable plastic bag. Using the back of a spoon, rolling pin, or meat mallet, crush to fine crumbs. Sprinkle crumbs over top layer, then chill at least 8 hours and up to 2 days.

GINGERSNAP BOWLS WITH ICE CREAM



Gingersnap Bowls with Ice Cream image

This treat comes with an edible bowl, just right for holding a scoop of ice cream topped with extra cookies -- simply crumble them -- or try hot fudge.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cookie Recipes

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons dark corn syrup
Non stick cooking spray
Ice cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees, with rack in center. In a bowl, whisk together flour and ginger. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add sugar and syrup; cook over low heat, stirring with a wooden spoon, until sugar dissolves, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in flour mixture. Cool completely, about 25 minutes.
  • Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray so the batter will spread out evenly. If you use an insulated sheet, you will need to increase the cooking time by a few minutes. Making two cookies at a time, drop batter by level tablespoons onto sheet, at least 6 inches apart. Bake until batter spreads and is golden in center (edges may be darker), 9 to 11 minutes (cooking times will be shorter for later batches). Coat baking sheet with more cooking spray before each batch.
  • Let cool 30 to 40 seconds. Working quickly with a wide metal spatula, slide cookies onto two overturned cups; mold with your fingers. Cool completely; remove from cups. Store in airtight container up to 1 week. To serve, fill bowls with ice cream.

GINGERSNAP MINCEMEAT TORTE



Gingersnap Mincemeat Torte image

Categories     Mixer     Egg     Dessert     Bake     Thanksgiving     Quick & Easy     Fall     Gourmet

Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 cup gingersnap crumbs
3/4 teaspoon double-acting baking powder
2 large eggs, separated
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup bottled mincemeat
coffee or vanilla ice cream as an accompaniment

Steps:

  • Line a buttered 8-inch round cake pan with a round of wax paper, and dust the pan with flour, knocking out the excess. In a small bowl stir together the gingersnap crumbs and the baking powder. In a bowl with an electric mixer beat the egg yolks and the sugar until the mixture is thick and pale and beat in the mincemeat and the crumb mixture. In another bowl with cleaned beaters beat the whites with a pinch of salt until they just hold stiff peaks, stir one third of them into the batter to lighten the batter, and fold in the remaining whites gently but thoroughly. Turn the batter into the prepared pan, bake the torte in the middle of a preheated 350°F. oven for 20 minutes, or until it begins to shrink from the side of the pan, and transfer it to a rack. Let the torte cool for 15 minutes and invert it onto the rack. Discard the wax paper and invert the torte onto a plate. Serve the torte, cut into wedges, with the ice cream.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ginger: Fresh ginger has a more intense flavor than ground ginger, and it will give your ice cream torte a more authentic taste.
  • Don't overbeat the cream: If you overbeat the cream, it will become grainy and lose its smooth texture.
  • Freeze the torte for at least 4 hours before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and the torte to firm up.
  • Serve the torte with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings include whipped cream, chocolate sauce, and chopped nuts.

Conclusion:

This gingersnap ice cream torte is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is made with a gingersnap cookie crust, a creamy ginger ice cream filling, and a whipped cream topping. The torte is then frozen until firm and served with your favorite toppings. This recipe is sure to be a hit with your family and friends!
