This torte was a disappointment. The ice cream was too icy and the gingersnaps were soggy.

I had trouble finding gingersnaps, so I used graham crackers instead. The torte still turned out great!

This torte was a bit too sweet for my taste, but my husband loved it. I think next time I'll use less sugar in the ice cream.

This torte is delicious! The gingersnaps add a nice crunch and the cranberries give it a tart flavor that balances out the sweetness of the ice cream.

This torte was easy to make and turned out great! I used a store-bought gingersnap crust and ice cream, but I made my own cranberry sauce. The torte was a big hit with my family and friends.

This gingersnap ice cream torte was a hit at my holiday party! The combination of the creamy ice cream, the crunchy gingersnaps, and the tangy cranberries was perfect. I will definitely be making this again next year.
