  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/4 pound unsalted butter (1 stick)

How to Make

  • Step 1: Whip cream just until it forms soft peaks.

  • Step 2: Gently fold together the lime butter and the whipped cream. Spread 1/2 tablespoon of the whipped cream mixture on each gingersnap. Stack them together to make a 14-inch log and lay it on its side on a serving platter.

  • Step 3: Frost the log with the remaining whipped cream.

  • Step 4: Chill 4 - 6 hours, or cover with plastic wrap and freeze.

  • Step 5: If frozen, thaw in refrigerator 1 hour before serving.

  • Step 6: To serve garnish with the candied ginger and slice the roll at a 45-degree angle.

  • Step 7: Keep refrigerated until serving.

  • LIME BUTTER

  • Step 8: Place the sugar, butter, eggs, flour, lime peel, and lime juice in a heavy saucepan.

  • Step 9: Cook, stirring, over low heat, without boiling, until thick.

  • Step 10: Remove from the heat and let cool.

  • NOTE: Use as sauce or icing. Will keep almost indefinitely covered in the refrigerator
