Notes
-
- Gingerbread Syrup: You can find gingerbread syrup at most specialty stores or make your own at home. I found a great tasting ginger syrup on Amazon ➡ view it here.
-
- Heavy Cream: The heavy cream is optional but adds a nice creamy texture. If you prefer a lighter drink, you can omit it.
-
- Storage: The gingerbread syrup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
- The exact calorie count can vary based on the specific brands and ingredients used, especially the gingerbread syrup and the gingerbread cookie.
- The heavy cream is optional, so omitting it would reduce the calorie count by approximately 50 calories.
