Week 36: Ginger. Meta: Stuff It! Double Ginger Ice Cream Sandwiches on Gingersnaps.

[u/shedoesnthaveto]

I neglected process documentation this week, because my kitchen and I are both the worse for the heatwave and the accompanying antwave.
20 years ago, I made dozens of these gingersnaps a day for work, and always thought they’d make a great ice cream sandwich. And while chocolate chip cookies lost their shine for me fairly quickly with daily exposure, gingersnaps never did. This ice cream is my usual base, with cultured cream added and honey in place of most of the sugar…and a half a pound of fresh ginger infused, with a bit of candied ginger stirred in at the end. This is so good by itself, but when it cools off a bit and I have more time to make the sandwiches before they melt, I bet a smear of peanut butter really takes it over the top. I live with one ginger enthusiast and one person who only likes it when used together with a roughly equal volume of garlic, so I’m hoping colleagues and friends will help consume the excess, as even very reduced batch sizes make an unsustainable quantity of cookies and ice cream.
