Creamy, spiced no-bake gingerbread cheesecake layered over a gingersnap crust and served in individual cups — a festive, easy holiday dessert.
Crust:
1½ cups crushed gingersnap cookies
5 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
Filling:
8 oz cream cheese, softened
⅓ cup brown sugar
2 tbsp molasses
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp ground cinnamon
¾ tsp ground ginger
¼ tsp nutmeg
Pinch of ground cloves
1 cup heavy whipping cream, whipped (or 1½ cups whipped topping)
Mix crushed gingersnaps and melted butter. Spoon into serving cups and press gently.
Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add brown sugar, molasses, vanilla, and spices. Beat until fluffy.
Fold in whipped cream until fully incorporated.
Spoon or pipe filling over crust. Smooth tops.
Chill at least 2 hours or overnight.
Garnish with whipped cream and crushed cookies before serving.
Store covered in the fridge for up to 3 days. Freeze for longer storage. Use piping bags for clean assembly and garnish just before serving.
