Tips

  • For a less rich dessert, replace the coconut cream with coconut milk.
  • Treacle or molasses can also be substituted for an extra Christmas flavour.
  • Works really well in silicone mini muffin pans — easy release of the gingerbread rounds. These are available in stores such as Kmart.
  • Remember to always check the label of each ingredient to ensure it is gluten free
