Gingernut dessert

with 4 ingredients

We’re in New Zealand for a few weeks, spending time with family in Northland. I love coming home and it’s truly the best place to be in summer. Our bach (holiday house) is well-equipped for cooking but there’s only one small shop nearby. My mum’s friend used to make this dessert for us, using only cream and gingernut biscuits. It’s similar to tiramisu, using ingredients we had at the bach. Just make it a few hours before serving so the gingernuts can soak up everything up.

I love how you can buy one litre of pure cream in NZ.

I made this one without coffee or alcohol, just milk.
