Ingredients

1 servings
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup molasses
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 large eggs
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

Instructions

1

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, mix together the flour, brown sugar, molasses, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and salt. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

2

Step 2

Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Spread the dough onto a lightly greased baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown. Let it cool completely.

3

Step 3

Whisk together the heavy cream, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, ginger, cinnamon, and cloves in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Heat until warm, but do not boil.

4

Step 4

Pour the warm mixture over the gingerbread pieces and let it sit for a few minutes to absorb the liquid. Stir until well combined.

5

Step 5

Layer the gingerbread mixture, gingerbread crumbs, crushed ginger snaps, whipped cream, and maraschino cherries in individual serving glasses. Repeat the layers, finishing with whipped cream and cherries on top.

6

Step 6

Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
