15+ Gingerbread Recipe Easy With ingredients and Procedure

No-Bake Gingerbread Balls

• 1 cup honey
• 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 3/4 cups unflavored breadcrumbs
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon powder
• Red- and green-colored sugars for garnish
• Whole cloves

Put the honey into a 2-quart saucepan and slowly bring it to a boil. Do not leave it unattended or it will boil over. Skim any residue that rises to the surface. When skimmed, add pepper and cinnamon. Stir for one minute. Remove pot from heat. Add breadcrumbs. Stir until thoroughly mixed. Cool completely.

When cool, roll small bits of dough into 1-inch balls with your hands. Roll the balls in colored sugar until the entire surface is coated. Repeat until all the dough is used. Store the gingerbread in an airtight container. Include a few whole cloves in the container for additional flavor. "No-Bake Gingerbread" is best when fresh, but will keep for several weeks.

Makes about 30 (1-inch) balls.

Gingerbread Cake

Source: Posted by Linda in Canada 24 April 2001 11:26 am

Linda in Canada,

This was last night's dessert. I haven't had a gingerbread cake for at least 20 years and this was definitely the best I have ever had. It was moist with a nice robust ginger/molasses flavor. My Chinese wife was not a big fan of this type of flavor, but my two kids and I knocked ourselves out (I'm glad that we didn't have to share with my wife--more for us!). I served the cake with vanilla ice cream.

You mentioned in your recipe that you like to add extra ginger. I have a similar preference, so I doubled the ginger amount. I also added a little less than 1 tablespoon of whiskey. 

Thanks for a yummy dessert recipe! Regards, Cookin' Dad

P.S. Next time, maybe I'll serve this with BOTH French vanilla whipped cream and ice cream (oink, oink!).

Beat:

• 1/2 cup shortening (or margarine)
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup molasses

Add:

• 1 1/2 cups flour
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon ginger (I use more)
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 cup boiling water

Beat well and bake in the greased 8-inch square pan at 350 degrees F for 35-40 minutes. Serve with whipped cream or ice cream.

Gingerbread Cheesecake

• 1 pound cream cheese (at room temperature)
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 4 eggs
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup molasses
• 4 tablespoons butter, softened
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon fresh nutmeg, grated
• 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup light brown sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 cup flour

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9-inch springform pan. In a mixer bowl, beat the cream cheese on high speed until light and smooth, about 3 minutes. With the mixer on, beat in the vanilla extract. Add two of the eggs, 1 at a time, beating until thoroughly blended. Gradually add the granulated sugar and beat until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3 minutes; set aside.

In a medium saucepan, heat the molasses over low heat until bubbles begin to form around the sides. Remove from the heat and stir in the butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, until completely blended. Scrape the molasses into a medium bowl and stir in the ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and salt. Add the brown sugar and beat with a wooden spoon until smooth. Let cool to room temperature.

Beat the remaining 2 eggs into the gingerbread batter, 1 at a time, until well blended. Stir in the baking soda, then beat in the flour in 3 batches until completely incorporated. Using a tablespoon, drop half the gingerbread batter in spoonfuls into the prepared pan. Use one-fourth of the reserved cream cheese mixture to fill in the empty spaces. Dollop the remaining gingerbread batter on top of the cream cheese mounds. Fill in with another one-fourth of the cream cheese mixture. Swirl with the flat edge of a knife to marbleize the batters (be careful not to overmix). Smooth the remaining cream cheese mixture over the top. Bake in the middle of the oven for 50 minutes, or until the top of the cake begins to crack. Let cool to room temperature. Remove the sides of the springform pan, cover and refrigerate. Serve chilled.
