It's the season my friends, so my gf wanted to make her own gingerbread house this year. But she goofed and made the walls to big and thin, so the start to fall apart when she tries to attend them up.
So she's starting over. And I told her I would do something with these losses.
I was thinking of making small gingerbread ganach sandwiches. I don't know if a ganach would work but I would like a creamy texture and I don't know what flavors go will with ginger bread.
Any ideas on flavors and recipes?
Also gingerbread general.
Never dealt with ganach. First ideas that pop into my mind are cheesecake crust, and icream sandwiches depending on how hard the gingerbread is. If it's soft enough, just take a biscuit cutter/cup with a sharp edge/cookie cutter and cut out circular pieces. Sandwhich icecream in between.
Could use a pizza cutter and cut out individual cookie sized pieces, and use for dunking in coffee.
Make into a pie crust and make a fruit cream pie.
idk, lots of possibilities desu. I guess I'm gonna have to go google ganach now.

I like that idea. I might try that, if not today, maybe after Christmas. I'm getting those circular pans where the bottom comes off(forgot the name) as a present.

or something like a trifle, change it up for a christmas spice theme to compliment the gingerbread biscuits
They look so pale.

Yeah, I'm not sure what her recipe is but they taste great. It might not be the right recipe for a house, on top of that we usually like cookies on the soft side so they might be undercooked on the photo.
This was supposed to be a start shaped window...

Triggered.
Here are some I made yesterday. I made a whole sleu of pictures and webms but I got lazy. So here's the final product. These are a spicy shaped cookie, with royal icing cuz the cookie recipe called for egg yolks.
Well, I tried.
At least there's some extra dough in the fridge. I'll try again tomorrow with thicker icing and better cut cookies.

Mate, if you want to build a gingerbread house, you need a framework, preferably wooden shish-kabob sticks, or wooden toothpicks. The frosting will not hold the pieces together on their own due to gravity and other forces at work. You need a solid, penetrating force to keep everything together that'll give the frosting time to harden.

Her dad suggested, foie gras with fig or onion jam on them. So we'll probably go with that.

Lemon cream frosting. Make sandwiches with it.
