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.
Thank guys! This was a big hit at my house!
I believe 1 stick of butter is 114 grams.
What is one stick of butter, 250g?
Very nice! Congratulations on the Top 9… This looks extremely tasty. I'm not a huge fan of ginger snaps, but the blueberries look beautiful! I may have to try that.
Your ice cream cups are beautiful and with berries, over the top.
What a beautiful looking dessert…what makes u call it ugly?
I love the lavender touch..must have made the whole thing aromatic!
That looks so good and summery! Why did I never think of gingersnap cups?
I am going blueberry picking this weekend and now I know one of the ways I will be using them! Plus, those ice cream cups sound great! My husband and I are ice cream addicts so a new way to eat it is always welcomed!

Very innovative recipe, I love the idea of putting ice cream into little homemade muffin-cookie like cups. And it looks so beautiful and appetizing.
Wow, this looks sinfully delicious! I can almost taste the berries from the pictures alone!
This looks so good. Love your blog!
Sommer – that looks incredible!!! Just the thing for the last of the 10lbs of blueberries we got a couple of weeks ago from MI. And, I think I have some homemade peach ice cream in the freezer. Love the gingersnap cups too. Wonder how they'd be with a vanilla mousse? Or a custard/creme brulee? Great photos too. How much fun was that for your kids :-) A memory they'll always treasure! Hope you have a wonderful weekend. Kate (kateiscooking.blogspot.com)
This is the most inviting, tantalizing, gorgeous post. I wish my lavender had buds! The ginger-snap cups really dress this up.
When a picture makes me go, "Oh my gosh," I know right away I'm going to be printing the recipe. That is amazing. The sauce looks fantastic (and I just happen to have a quart of hand-picked blueberries in the fridge). I LOVE the ginger snap cups. What an incredible idea for any kind of cookie. Thank you so much for passing it along.
Wow, unbelievable looking! Congrats on the Top 9, beautiful photos!
