Ingredients

  • Pre-made gingerbread cookie crust
  • Gingerbread cookies (if making your own crust)
  • Melted butter (if making your own crust)
  • Non-Alcoholic Gin Extract
  • Heavy Cream
  • Sweetener (granulated sugar, maple syrup, or agave nectar)
  • Ground ginger
  • Cinnamon
  • Nutmeg
  • Gelatin
  • Cold water (for blooming gelatin)
  • Additional heavy cream (for whipping)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: If using a pre-made gingerbread crust, simply place it in your pie dish. For a homemade crust, crush gingerbread cookies into fine crumbs, mix with melted butter, and press firmly into the bottom and sides of your pie dish. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, then let cool.
  2. Make the Filling: In a medium saucepan, combine heavy cream, sweetener, and the non-alcoholic gin extract. Whisk over medium heat until the mixture is warm and the sweetener has dissolved, but do not let it boil.
  3. Incorporate the Gelatin: In a separate small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over a couple of tablespoons of cold water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to bloom. Once bloomed, add it to the warm cream mixture, whisking until fully dissolved.
  4. Add the Spices: Stir in ground ginger, cinnamon, and nutmeg to the mixture, ensuring they are well combined. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  5. Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip additional heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold this whipped cream into the gin-infused mixture until fully combined. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
  6. Assemble the Pie: Pour the creamy mixture into the prepared gingerbread crust. Smooth the top with a spatula and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Once set, you can top the pie with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a dollop of whipped cream. Slice and serve chilled!

Keywords: Don't rush the chilling process; the pie needs ample time to set properly. Feel free to experiment with spices and consider decorating the top with candied ginger for a festive touch.
