Gingersnap Ice Cream Cups
Gingersnap Ice Cream Cups, the perfect edible hand-held serving dish for summer ice cream treats!
Last weekend my family drove down the Blue Ridge Parkway to a place called Graveyard Fields. It is a lovely wooded hiking area known for kid-friendly trails, waterfalls, and wild berries galore!
The wild blueberries are always small and unimpressive at first sight but, oh what destiny is hidden within!
Ripe wild blueberries are  unfathomably exquisite… Bright, fragrant, and slightly earthy. It just goes to show, appearance isn’t everything.
I made our blueberries into a quick blueberry sauce for ice cream. However as lovely as the sauce was, it was the Gingersnap Ice Cream Cups the ice cream was sitting in that made the biggest impact.
Gingersnap Ice Cream Cups are a quick and simple way to dress up ice cream. Simply blend crumbled gingersnap, butter, and sugar together. Then press the mixture into muffin pans and bake.
The spice of the gingersnaps livens up any ice cream flavor, with or without sauce!

Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300 degree F. Grind the cookies in a food processor. If you don't have a food processor, place them in a zip bag and roll them with a rolling pin.
- Mix in the butter, sugar and salt. Spray a muffin tin with non-stick spray. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture into each cup. Use a small cup to press each scoop of mixture, shaping it into a tiny cup.
- Bake the cups for 12-15 minutes. Allow them to cool, then lift them out with your fingers or a small knife.
How wonderful..the ice cream is even better when it is accompanied with a delicious looking gingersnap cup!!
Those little berries made for some great inspiration! Looks like it was a fun day and a delicious dessert. Beautiful photos!
This looks so tasty! Thanks for including it in the Tip Day Thursday carnival…I would love a link back to the carnival.
Great idea to make these ice cream cups. That would go wonderfully with the apricot ice cream I have in my freezer.
The gingersnap cups are so cute and I love the lavender in the berry sauce, so delicious!
I love the blueberry lavender sauce! The gingersnap ice cream cups are pretty sweet too:-)
Beautiful photos, I've never been blueberry picking, it looks like fun.

I'll definitely have to check that area of the Smoky Mountains out. My kids saw the pictures you posted and asked, "can we go there today mommie?"
