Gingerbread Mini Cheesecakes Recipe
In case you didn’t know, I love the flavors of gingerbread. I can seriously eat it all season long. And lately, we have been. If you have never had gingerbread mini cheesecakes, you don’t know what you are missing. They are the perfect size for a Christmas party and are so good, everyone will be raving about them.
Can I Freeze Mini Cheesecake Bites?
Mini Cheesecake bites are perfect for the freezer. Just like people buy cheesecake and keep it in their freezer so that they can have it available whenever they want cheesecake, these mini cheesecake bites will do the same. Wrap them well, store them in a freezer bag or in an airtight container and these cheesecake bites will keep beautifully.
Do I Have to Line the Muffin Tins?
When you are making these mini bites, you want to make sure that you line the muffin tin. If you do not, they will not come out well, even if it is greased. Trying to get them from a pan that has not been lined will cause the crust to break and it will be a messy pile of gingerbread cheesecake rather than these cute easy to eat bites.

I have used both Walmart’s Great Value brand gingersnap cookies and President’s Choice brand gingersnap cookies and both have fit perfectly in the bottom of a standard size muffin tin.
