Categories     Dessert

Time 12h40m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pouch (1 lb 1.5 oz) Betty Crocker™ sugar cookie mix
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 egg
1 tablespoon grated lemon peel
1/3 cup finely chopped crystallized ginger
2 cups whipping cream
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • In medium bowl, stir cookie mix, butter, egg and lemon peel until soft dough forms. Stir in crystallized ginger. Divide dough in half. On waxed paper, shape each half into 8-inch-long roll. Wrap in waxed paper. Freeze about 1 hour or refrigerate about 3 hours until firm enough to slice.
  • Heat oven to 350°F. Using a sharp thin-bladed knife, cut each roll into 32 (1/8-inch-thick) slices. Rotate roll while cutting to prevent flattening. On ungreased cookie sheets, place slices 1 inch apart. Bake 9 to 11 minutes, or until edges are light brown. Cool 1 minute; remove to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  • In chilled deep small bowl, beat filling ingredients with electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form. On tray, place 16 cookies right sides up. Spread 1 tablespoon whipped cream on top of each cookie, then top with another cookie. Repeat with remaining cookies and cream, making 4 layers of cookies and ending with a layer of cream. Place each cookie cupcake in a decorative cupcake liners. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate at least 8 hours. Garnish with raspberries, strawberries and blueberries, if desired.

LEMON GINGER ICEBOX CAKE



Lemon Ginger Icebox Cake image

No oven required. This is an easy make-ahead dessert with a light and complex blend of flavors. For the cookies, I use one 9-oz box of Meyer Lemon Thins, Lemon Curd, and some Triple-Ginger Snaps from Trader Joe's. Plan ahead because it needs to sit in the fridge overnight.

Categories     Dessert

Time 12h15m

Yield 16 slices, 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 cups heavy cream
1/4 cup superfine sugar
3 tablespoons fresh lemon zest (from 2 lemons)
9 ounces lemon wafer cookies
20 gingersnap cookies
10 ounces lemon curd
2 tablespoons flaked coconut (optional)

Steps:

  • Whip the cream until stiff peaks form. Fold in sugar and 2 tbsp of the lemon zest.
  • Spread a very thin layer of the cream in the bottom of a 8 x 12 pan. (You can use a 9x13 pan also but the cake will be thinner.) Place the gingersnap cookies in an even layer over the cream, breaking some in half to fill in holes if necessary.
  • Very carefully heat the lemon curd slightly over a pan of boiling water, or microwave it for 10-15 seconds (be very careful or it will burn!) Drizzle some lemon curd over the cookie layer.
  • Spread a layer of cream over the cookies and lemon curd.
  • Repeat each layer with the lemon thins, curd, and cream, ending with a layer of cream on the top. Sprinkle with the remaining lemon zest and coconut.
  • Refrigerate overnight and cut with sharp knife to serve.

Tips:

  • Soften butter properly: Before you start baking, ensure your butter is softened to room temperature. This will make it easier to cream together with sugar and result in a smoother batter.
  • Use fresh lemons: Fresh lemon zest and juice add a delightful citrus flavor to these cupcakes. It's worth seeking out the best lemons you can find for the best results.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in tough cupcakes. Mix just until the ingredients are combined and avoid overbeating.
  • Chill the batter before baking: Chilling the batter for at least 30 minutes helps develop the flavors and firm up the dough, making it easier to handle and shape.
  • Bake the cupcakes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This ensures that the cupcakes are fully baked and have reached the desired doneness.
  • Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting: Allow the cupcakes to cool completely on a wire rack before frosting. This will prevent the frosting from melting and becoming runny.

Conclusion:

These lemon-ginger icebox cookie cupcakes are a delightful treat that combines the classic flavors of lemon and ginger in a unique and delicious way. With their tender crumb, bright citrus flavor, and hint of ginger spice, these cupcakes are sure to be a hit with friends and family. Whether you're a seasoned baker or just starting out, this recipe is easy to follow and yields professional-looking results. So gather your ingredients, preheat your oven, and embark on a delightful baking journey!
