Ingredients

Makes:  20 cups
Cook: 10 minutes

  • Nonstick cooking spray

  • 28 gingersnap cookies, Nabisco®

  • 1⁄2 cup packed brown sugar, Domino®/C&H®

  • 1⁄4 cup cake flour, Swans Down®

  • 1⁄4 cup (1⁄2 stick) butter, melted

  • 1 egg white

  • Lemon sorbet and/or mango sorbet

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray twenty 13⁄4-inch muffin cups with cooking spray; set aside.

  2. In a food processor, combine gingersnap cookies, brown sugar, and cake flour; cover and process until mixture forms fine crumbs. Add melted butter and egg white; pulse until mixture is well mixed.

  3. Spoon a heaping tablespoonful of the mixture into each prepared muffin cup. Using the back of a measuring tablespoon, firmly press into bottoms and up sides of cups to make 20 cups.

  4. Bake for 8 minutes. Remove from oven. Immediately press each cup again with the back of the measuring spoon. Bake for 2 to 4 minutes more or until set. Cool in muffin cups on a wire rack.

  5. Using a 2-tablespoon ice cream scoop, fill each cooled ginger cup with a small scoop of the sorbet.*

NOTE: You can scoop the sorbet into 2-tablespoon balls ahead of time and store on parchment paper-lined baking sheets in the freezer until you’re ready to serve the cups.
