Instructions

Make the batter

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Combine the melted butter, sugar, brown sugar, molasses, eggs, milk, and sour cream. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until smooth.

Bake

Pour the batter into a greased jelly roll pan and bake for 20 minutes. After it cools slightly, use the open end of a push-pop mold to cut out rounds.

Make the cream cheese frosting

Using an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese, butter, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add the powdered sugar 1 cup at a time, beating continuously until well blended and smooth.

Assemble

Place one gingerbread round at the bottom of a push-pop mold and pipe a ring of cream cheese frosting on top. Add another gingerbread round and finish with a final ring of frosting. Dust a pinch of cinnamon over the top for garnish.
