Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF (180ºC). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
- Grease the bottom and sides of a heavy-bottomed pot (such as a Dutch oven) with nonstick spray. This will ensure the dough doesn't stick to the pot as you turn it out.
- Melt the shortening in the greased pot over medium heat. Add the molasses and sugar, bring to a boil, then turn off the heat.
- Gradually stir in 4 cups (500 grams) of the flour mixture, 1 cup (125 grams) at a time, making sure to fully incorporate each addition before adding more. You'll have some of the flour mixture left over.
- Dust a work surface with some of the remaining flour mixture. Carefully turn the dough out onto the floured surface and work in the flour mixture. (You don't want the dough to be too crumbly. You may have some flour mixture left over, which can be used for rolling out the dough.)
- Once the flour is incorporated, shape the dough into a 12-inch (30.5 cm) log and cut into 3 portions, 1 piece slightly larger than the others for the roof.
- Set aside the smaller pieces of dough in the pot (it still should be warm, but not hot), cover with plastic wrap, and put the lid on. You'll want to work with the dough while it's warm as it tends to harden at room temperature. If it hardens, simply microwave for about 30 seconds.
- On the floured surface, roll out the larger piece of dough to a rectangle about ½-inch (1 ¼ cm) thick. Using a house template, cut the 2 pieces of the roof and set on a prepared baking sheet, spacing about 1 inch apart as the dough will expand while baking.
- Roll out the rest of the dough and cut out the front, back, and sides of the house using the templates. Place on a baking sheet.
- Wrap the leftover dough in plastic wrap and store at room temperature for up to 1 day. Microwave to soften and roll out to make decorations for the house or another gingerbread creation.
- Bake the gingerbread house pieces for 12-15 minutes, until they have hardened and baked through. Let cool completely.
- Make the royal icing: In a large bowl, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar with an electric hand mixer until frothy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, 1 cup (120 grams) at a time, until the icing is smooth and thick. NOTE: The icing is used for gluing the house together. It's very thick. To use the icing for decorating, add about 1 teaspoon of water at a time to thin the icing to your desired consistency.
- Assemble the gingerbread house with the royal icing. TIP: Put the roof pieces side by side with the underside up (and the eventual exposed part of the roof down). "Glue" a cut piece of a paper shopping bag across these two pieces with royal icing. Place two small glass bowls on either side of this upside-down roof to prop the pieces up into a "V" shape. Let dry completely. When assembling, this will help ensure that your roof doesn't slip down the sides of the house.
- Decorate the house with more royal icing and your desired decorations.
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- Grease a 9-inch x 13-inch (22 x 33 cm) baking dish with nonstick spray. Press a piece of parchment paper (cut to size, as needed) against the bottom and sides of the baking dish, pressing into the corners.
- Make the spiced dark chocolate: Add the dark chocolate and coconut oil to a medium heatproof bowl and set over a medium saucepan filled with about 1 inch of water, making sure the water doesn't touch the bottom of the bowl. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, about 5 minutes, until the chocolate is melted. Stir in the cinnamon.
- Pour the melted chocolate into the prepared baking dish, gently titling the dish so the bottom is covered evenly.
- Make the spiced white chocolate: Add the white chocolate to a clean medium heatproof bowl and place over the saucepan of water. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the chocolate is melted. Stir in the ginger and cloves.
- Drizzle the white chocolate over the dark chocolate layer. Then, using a butter knife, swirl the chocolates together in a circular pattern.
- Evenly sprinkle the broken gingersnaps and crystallized ginger over the chocolate, gently pressing down to adhere.
- Transfer the baking dish to the refrigerator for 1-2 hours, or until the chocolate is set.
- Break into pieces, then serve.
- Enjoy!

GINGERBREAD
My grandmother first used this recipe for gingerbread over 100 years ago. I remember that the kitchen smelled like heaven when Grandmother baked her gingerbread. The only thing better was when she took it out of the oven and served it with a generous topping of fresh whipped cream! -Ellouise Halstead, Union Grove, Wisconsin
