Notes

For different flavor profiles, swap gingersnap cookies with graham crackers or use coconut cream for a dairy-free option.
Always use fresh spices for the best flavor and be patient with the resting time to ensure the filling sets properly.
For presentation, consider serving with whipped cream, a drizzle of caramel, or garnishing with candied ginger.
