　　In Epi's 3-Ingredient Recipes series, we show you how to make great food with just three ingredients (plus staples like oil, salt, and pepper).

　　Use whatever jam, marmalade, or fruit preserves you like in this crowd-pleaser; raspberry or cherry would be especially nice.

　　

Ingredients

Serves 8

　　2 cups heavy cream

　　42 gingersnap cookies (about 10 ounces), divided

　　3/4 cup orange marmalade, divided

　　

Step 1

Using an electric mixer on medium-high speed, whip cream to stiff peaks in a large bowl.

　　

Step 2

Arrange 10 cookies in a circle (8 around the edge and 2 in the middle) on a cake stand or large plate, breaking 1 center cookie to fit. Top with one-quarter of whipped cream, spreading gently almost to edge of cookies (you’ll want to see them peeking out). Dollop one-quarter of marmalade over. Repeat with 30 cookies and remaining cream and marmalade to make 4 layers, ending with marmalade.

　　

Step 3

Place remaining 2 cookies in a resealable plastic bag. Using the back of a spoon, rolling pin, or meat mallet, crush to fine crumbs. Sprinkle crumbs over top layer, then chill at least 8 hours and up to 2 days.
