Use whatever jam, marmalade, or fruit preserves you like in this crowd-pleaser; raspberry or cherry would be especially nice.

Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 cups heavy cream
42 gingersnap cookies (about 10 ounces), divided
3/4 cup orange marmalade, divided

Steps:

  • Using an electric mixer on medium-high speed, whip cream to stiff peaks in a large bowl.
  • Arrange 10 cookies in a circle (8 around the edge and 2 in the middle) on a cake stand or large plate, breaking 1 center cookie to fit. Top with one-quarter of whipped cream, spreading gently almost to edge of cookies (you'll want to see them peeking out). Dollop one-quarter of marmalade over. Repeat with 30 cookies and remaining cream and marmalade to make 4 layers, ending with marmalade.
  • Place remaining 2 cookies in a resealable plastic bag. Using the back of a spoon, rolling pin, or meat mallet, crush to fine crumbs. Sprinkle crumbs over top layer, then chill at least 8 hours and up to 2 days.
