Gingerbread disasaaaaaaaaaster!

[MothershipG]

So last night (I was out) DD and a couple of friends decided to make a gingerbread house, she's perfectly able to make cakes and biscuits so I thought she'd be ok.

I forgot gingerbread is a different technique and they managed to stuff it up completely. They thought it was too greasy and crumbly so added more flour then left it to cool!

The upshot is a huge bowl of very sandy mix, it's a bit like biscuit crumbs or shortbread before it comes together.

I am loath to throw it away as it's such a waste but I don't think it's salvageable as gingerbread.

Any ideas what it could be used for? All I can come up with is making truffles with chocolate and condensed milk but no one needs that many truffles (even at Christmas).

Any other ideas?

A lemon and ginger cheesecake, lemon cheesecake and this as the gingery base?

[oldbirdy]

Or, apple or rhubarb and ginger crumble, with this as topping?

Yes crumble!! Doesn't matter then if it's crumbly

Some kind of gingerbread crumble? I think it would be great on an apple crumble with some crystallised ginger in.

Oops, cross posted while I googled 'gingerbread crumble'.

Crumble! Excellent idea as it would use up heaps. I reckon I have enough for about 3 crumbles or 10 cheesecakes! (Ok, probably exaggerating slightly ).
