Create simple, individual servings of creamy, spiced cheesecake with a gingersnap crust. This no-bake recipe is perfect for holiday parties and festive gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups finely crushed gingersnap cookies
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
  • Optional topping: Whipped cream, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or mini gingerbread men

Instructions

  1. Combine the crushed gingersnap cookies and melted butter in a small bowl. Mix until the crumbs are evenly moistened.
  2. Press about 1 tablespoon of the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of each liner in a standard 12-cup muffin tin lined with paper or foil liners. Place the tin in the freezer while you prepare the filling.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth.
  4. Add the powdered sugar, ground ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg to the cream cheese. Beat until fully combined and creamy. Mix in the vanilla extract.
  5. In a separate, clean bowl, whip the cold heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form.
  6. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until no streaks remain. Do not overmix.
  7. Spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling evenly over the chilled crusts in the muffin tin cups.
  8. Chill the cheesecake cups in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
  9. Before serving, top each cup with optional whipped cream, a dusting of cinnamon, or a small gingerbread decoration. Remove the paper liner before serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute graham cracker crumbs for gingersnap cookies if you prefer a milder crust flavor.
  • Make these ahead of time; they hold well in the refrigerator for up to three days.
  • For easy removal, you can use silicone baking cups instead of paper liners.
