Gingernuts and Oreo biscuits

Ginger nuts are for dunking or you break you teeth

I once made some ginger nuts and I've no idea what I did wrong but it was impossible to eat them even after dunking them. They were rock hard. We took a hammer to them in the end just from sheer frustration. Then they went in the bin 😂

Unused, leftover, unopened, surplus. Not adjectives that should ever be used with biscuits, cake or chocolate. Not in this house anyway.

Soak the biscuits in sherry, then sandwich with whipped cream in between each one, cover the log with cream and grate chocolate on top. Always a winner here

I think that ginger biscuits make a better crumb base than digestives.
I've beaten cream until double and dipped either type of biscuit in and used them in puddings .

Sounds like my gluten-free pastry 😁
I threw it out but even the pigeons refused it.

If you make a “cheesecake” with biscuits crumbs it is NOT cheesecake. It’s a concoction made up of some biscuits mashed up and cheese, usually over sweetened and loaded with gelatine to hold it together. Cheesecake is baked; all of the ingredients are baked.

Only purists might insist that baked cheesecakes are cheesecakes.

😁 You've obviously never tasted a proper unbaked one.

The baked ones are ok but not so good.

What a load of purist nonsense!

My recipe is for a No-bake Cheesecake 😊 it doesn’t have any gelatine in it. It’s made with a biscuit base and mascarpone is the main ingredient.

Crunched up ginger nuts make an excellent base for cheesecake.

Yes, especially lemon or orange cheesecake.
