Equipment

  • Springform cake pan (18cm)
  • Mixing bowl
  • Saucepan

Ingredients
  

Gingerbread base

  • 150 grams gingerbread cookies
  • 60 grams butter

Filling

  • 350 grams mascarpone
  • 400 milliliters whipping cream
  • 75 milliliters powder sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon powder
  • 150 grams gingerbread cookies

Caramel sauce topping

  • 150 milliliters whipping cream
  • 150 milliliters brown sugar

Instructions
 

For the base

  • Crush the gingerbread cookies for the base. Melt the butter and mix in with the crushed gingerbread cookies.
  • Butter a springform cake pan (18cm) and press in the base. Put the pan in the fridge while making the filling for the cake.

For the filling

  • In a mixing bowl, whip mascarpone, whipping cream, powder sugar, vanilla sugar, and cinnamon until fluffy.
  • Crush the gingerbread cookies for the filling. Don't crush them too much. Leave some larger pieces. Mix into the rest of the filling carefully.
  • Pour into the pan on top of the cake base. Put into the fridge.

For the caramel sauce topping

  • Add the cream and sugar into a saucepan. Heat until the mixture boils, mixing constantly.
  • Over medium heat, keep mixing for 10-15 minutes (The mixture needs to lightly boil at all times.)
  • When the sauce has thickened slightly, take off the heat and let cool down slightly but not completely.
  • Pour the slightly cooled caramel sauce on top of the cake and make sure it spreads evenly. Let set in the fridge for an hour or two.
