NoBake Gingerbread Cheesecake Cups offers a simple delicious dessert that solves holiday baking stress with rich creamy flavors everyone will love

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 cups gingerbread cookie crumbs (about 12-15 cookies, finely crushed)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 0.75 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • Optional toppings: whipped cream, crystallized ginger, ground nutmeg

    • Instructions

  • Crush your gingerbread cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or place them in a sealed bag and use a rolling pin. Pour the crumbs into a mixing bowl, then stir in the melted butter until all crumbs are evenly coated. It should feel like damp sand that sticks together when pressed.
  • Spoon the cookie mixture into your serving cups or glasses, pressing down firmly with the back of a spoon to create an even layer. Pop these into the fridge while you prepare the filling—this helps the base firm up nicely.
  • Beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and lump-free. Then add vanilla extract and the ground spices and mix gently until combined.
  • In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  • Carefully fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula, gently lifting from the bottom to avoid deflating the air. Aim for a smooth, airy filling.
  • Spoon or pipe the cheesecake mixture over the chilled gingerbread crusts to form a thick creamy layer.
  • Refrigerate your cheesecake cups for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight. Before serving, top with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of nutmeg or some chopped crystallized ginger if desired.
