Treat Tuesday-Gingerbread Icebox Cake
This is a quick and easy cake to make for Thanksgiving! The Gingerbread Icebox Cake gets extra points because it needs to be made a day in advance to have plenty of time to chill in the refrigerator. Since it is made with whipped cream, this cake yields a nice, light texture and the Ginger Snaps soften the perfect amount. Use a knife and spatula when serving for best results.
Start by crushing a third of the cookies in a plastic bag.
Next add the heavy whipping cream, spices, and powdered sugar to the bowl of an electric mixer.
Mix on high speed until stiff peaks form.
Now begin layering the cream and the cookies! Start with a third of the whipping cream.
Next add the Ginger Snaps. I used these as they are nice and thin and have great flavor.
Add another layer of cream.
Then another layer of cookies.
Finish off the cake with the final layer of cream and the crushed cookies.
Refrigerate overnight and serve cold.
All of your Pilgrims will enjoy this cake!
