Ingredients
Scale
- 12 oz gingerbread cookies (soft and chewy)
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup whole milk
Instructions
- Prepare your workspace: Gather all ingredients and tools, including a mixing bowl and an icebox dish.
- Create the whipped cream filling: In a mixing bowl, whip together heavy cream, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form, about 3-5 minutes.
- Layer the cookies: Quickly dip each gingerbread cookie in milk to soften them slightly. Arrange them in a single layer at the bottom of your dish.
- Add marshmallows and cream mixture: Sprinkle mini marshmallows over the cookie layer before spreading half of the whipped cream mixture on top.
- Repeat layers: Continue layering with more dipped cookies, followed by another layer of marshmallows and then whipped cream until all ingredients are used. Finish with whipped cream on top.
- Chill before serving: Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow flavors to meld beautifully.
- Serve chilled: Slice into squares or rectangles and enjoy!
