Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces gingersnap cookies
  • 1/4 cup whole milk
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt


Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients including gingersnap cookies, whole milk, unsalted butter, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, powdered sugar, and fine sea salt.
  2. Blend Ingredients: Place all ingredients into a blender or food processor. Blend on high speed until a smooth, creamy paste forms, scraping down the sides if needed.
