Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Cheesecake Filling
  • 1 cup mascarpone cheese
  • 1 cup cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon nutmeg
Base and Topping
  • 1 cup crushed gingerbread cookies For the base layer
  • 1 cup whipped cream For topping

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese and softened cream cheese. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  2. Gradually add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg into the mixture. Blend everything together until fully incorporated and creamy.
  3. Take your serving cups or glasses and place a layer of crushed gingerbread cookies at the bottom of each cup.
  4. Using a piping bag or a spoon, fill each cup with a layer of the gingerbread cheesecake mixture, making sure they are filled generously.
  5. Finish with a nice dollop of whipped cream on top of each cup. For an extra festive touch, sprinkle a pinch of crushed gingerbread cookies or a dusting of cinnamon over the whipped cream.
  6. Refrigerate the cups for at least 30 minutes to allow them to set slightly before serving.

Notes

Allowing the cups to chill for at least 30 minutes helps solidify the layers and makes them easier to eat. If mascarpone cheese is hard to find, substitute with a blend of cream cheese and sour cream. Use clear cups to showcase the layers.
