A Festive Gingerbread to Make This Holiday Season


Seasons Greetings, Darlings!

Aubree Holmes, right here. I’m again with one other seasonal recipe to serve household and mates this time of yr. I’ve used a traditional vacation taste to make a candy deal with that’s completely scrumptious for dessert or an ideal cinnamon roll different for Christmas morning.

Gingerbread with Nutmeg Cream Cheese Frosting

To make this, recent ginger is grated into the batter, which is then baked within the type of a loaf so it’s really a ginger “bread.” Cassava flour serves as the bottom for the Gingerbread, making this a terrific possibility for these in your life who have to keep away from gluten or grains.

Nutmeg and maple syrup are whipped into non-dairy cream cheese (the true factor works simply as nicely for those who’re pleased with dairy) to make a frosting that tastes a bit like egg nog—loopy scrumptious! I wish to unfold a bunch on prime of the Gingerbread and serve it with further frosting on the facet. The Jolie Mixing Bowl is simply the appropriate dimension for this.

This Gingerbread didn’t final lengthy in my home—I hope it’ll be a success in yours, too!
