Ingredients
For Ginger Cookie Crust.
For Peanut Butter Cinnamon Ice Cream.
Instructions
Start by making your ginger cookie crust.
-
To a medium bowl add the following dry ingredients and mix.
-
1 1/2 C almond flour
-
1/4 C tapioca starch
-
1 T ground ginger
-
1 t baking powder
-
1/4 t Real salt
-
Then add the following wet ingredients, mixing again.
-
1/2 C pure maple syrup
-
1 t pure vanilla extract
-
Lastly add in 1/2 C Enjoy Life chocolate chips and stir.
-
Line a 12 cup cupcake pan with parchment liners. Divide your cookie mixture amongst each cup. Press with your fingers to form cookie dough to the bottom and sides of your liner.
-
Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. Allow to cool a bit then press cookie crust with a spoon to form a hole in the center. This creates room for more ice cream mixture. Set aside.
-
If you do not have pecans or do not have the time you can skip this part.
Make your peanut butter cinnamon ice cream.
-
1 – 14 ounce can coconut cream or milk
-
1 C Smucker’s Natural peanut butter
-
3/4 C pure maple syrup
-
2 t ground cinnamon
-
1 t pure vanilla
-
1/2 t Real salt
-
Add all ingredients to a blender. Blend until smooth and creamy. Scrape down the blender sides if needed to really incorporate all the ingredients. Blend again.
-
Pour ice cream mixture into a bowl for easier access if you choose.
-
Use a 1/4 C to scoop your mixture over your cookie cups. You will have some extra ice cream mixture. I usually pour into a freezer container for later.
-
Place 3-4 maple pecans atop each ice cream cup if you are using them.
-
Put your cupcake pan of deliciousness into the freezer to harden. Takes about an hour or two.
-
Remove each cup from your pan. Store in freezer bags or containers until use.
-
Allow to thaw on the counter about 5 minutes before eating.
