Instructions:
-
Thoroughly mix the marmalade and ground ginger. Ensure the flavors are evenly distributed for a balanced taste.
-
Combine whiskey, marmalade mix, lemon (or orange) zest, and sugar in a bowl. Stir well to blend the ingredients together. Allow the mixture to rest for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors meld.
-
Slowly stir the cream into the whiskey mixture until evenly blended. Use a gentle hand to achieve a smooth consistency.
-
Beat the cream mixture with an electric or rotary beater until thick. This will incorporate air into the mixture, resulting in a light and fluffy texture.
-
In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. This step adds volume and structure to the cream mixture.
-
Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the cream mixture until well combined. Be careful not to deflate the mixture, maintaining its airy texture.
-
Spoon the mixture into 4 individual wine glasses or sundae dishes. Presentation is key, so take your time to create an appealing look.
-
Chill the glasses in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together and the dessert to set.
-
Serve chilled, accompanied by brandy snaps or ginger snaps (cookies). The crunchy cookies complement the creamy texture of the dessert perfectly.
Enjoy the indulgent flavors of these Irish Cream Gingersnaps, a delightful treat that’s easy to make and sure to impress! Perfect for sharing with loved ones or enjoying as a sweet solo indulgence.
