La Cocotte Verte

Gingersnaps are crunchy on the outside, chewy on the inside, glittering with the sugar they’re rolled in before baking.

Gingercakes are something entirely different: soft, spicy, luxuriously thick. In addition to the classic gingersnap duo of ginger and cinnamon, they include a spicy hit of cloves. Paired with a chocolate truffle filling, they create a perfect little indulgence to accompany a cup of coffee or tea as the finale to a meal or an afternoon treat.

Ginger and vanilla combine with bittersweet chocolate to create truffles with a spicy-hot kick. Serve the truffles at room temperature, to bring out the full flavor of the spices.
