frozen orange ginger sandwiches

Today's hot weather (92 degrees in mid-May...) inspired this quick, two-ingredient recipe. I'm not a baker, I'll be the first to admit. I like to throw things together and play with recipes, so I'm not fond of the precise measurements, temperatures and ingredients most baking requires, especially desserts. So this is quick and easy, with no baking required.


Ingredients

1 box ginger snap cookies
1 container orange sherbet *

With a large tablespoon, scoop out a dollop of the sherbet and place on one ginger snap cookie (flat side up). Place another cookie on top of the sherbet (flat side down) and gently press down until the sherbet is the same size as the cookies. Prepare two or three per person. Serve immediately, or freeze ahead of time. Cover if you plan on freezing quite a bit ahead to maintain the freshness of flavors. The bite of the ginger snap coupled with the smooth, refreshing sherbet makes a great flavor combination. Enjoy!

* You can substitute the sherbet for ice cream or frozen yogurt, and change the orange out for lemon.
