Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams gingersnap cookies
- 75 grams unsalted butter
- 3 ripe peaches
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 cup whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 6 mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a muffin tin with 6 cups.
In a food processor, pulse the gingersnap cookies until they form fine crumbs.
Melt the butter over low heat or in the microwave, and mix it thoroughly with the gingersnap crumbs until evenly moistened.
Divide the gingersnap mixture evenly among the 6 muffin tin cups and press it firmly into the bottom and up the sides to create a cup shape.
Bake the gingersnap cups in the oven for 5 minutes. Remove and let them cool completely in the tin before carefully transferring them onto a serving platter.
While the cups cool, prepare the peach filling. Peel the peaches, remove the pits, and dice them into small cubes.
In a bowl, toss the diced peaches with granulated sugar and set aside to macerate for 10 minutes.
In another bowl, whip the whipping cream until soft peaks form. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and continue whipping until stiff peaks form.
To assemble, spoon the macerated peaches into the cooled gingersnap cups, dividing evenly among the 6 cups.
Top each cup with a generous dollop of whipped cream.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves, if desired, and serve immediately.
