What to do with ginger nuts?

I have about three quarters of a packet of ginger nut biscuits left over from a camping trip. I really don't want to throw them away. I'm sure there must be something I can do with them - maybe a cheesecake style base? I have lots of jelly in stock too so maybe something using that would be good.

    I know a restaurant that makes 'cookies and cream' cheesecake. It's got crumbled up biscuit in the actual filling. (I am not adventurous enough to have made a cheescake yet, but that pudding is the main reason I keep going back to that restaurant!

    Hehe sorry Kaz but I think I might have to go with Thriftlady's fridge cake suggestion - not made that for years! Scuzz - how did you know I have a bit of a thing for soggy biccies? Trying to lose a few lbs though, yeah like I'm going to be able to leave fridge cake alone! The cookies and cream cheesecake sounds yum.

    Ginger biccies go particularly well as a base for a lime-flavoured cheesecake(see Becles' post on todays "Cheesecake" thread) or Key Lime pie.

    ginger also goes well with rhubarb.
    use them in a cumble topping? make a ginger and rhubarb trifle/sundae thingy to your own recipe?

    Yes. Thanks. There's gelatine in it?! :eek: That's not good. _pale_ I should have asked, but you'd think they'd tell you because you check the main course is veggie...:o
