Mini Gingerbread Cheesecakes

Nothing is as delicious as cheesecake, except of course, this Gingerbread Mini Cheesecakes recipe. I love the rich cheesecake flavor that goes so beautifully with the classic holiday treat of gingerbread. Make these little bites as a special dessert for your family or the perfect treat to take to holiday gatherings.

Instructions

  • Line muffin tins with paper baking cups.* Place a gingersnap cookie in the bottom of each one. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl beat together the softened cream cheese, sugar, eggs, lemon juice, and vanilla until well blended.
  • Add the ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves and mix well.
  • Fill the muffin tins about 2/3 full with the cream cheese mixture.
  • Bake for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and cool completely before refrigerating for 2 hours.
  • In a medium bowl whisk together the sour cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla.
  • Remove the paper liners from the cheesecakes.
  • Spread the sour cream mixture over the top of the cheesecakes and decorate with the mini gingerbread men.
  • Serve chilled.

Notes

I find using parchment baking cups works really well for these little cheesecakes. They don’t stick at all.
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.
