Ingredients

Scale

For the crust:

  • 1 cup (120g) graham cracker crumbs
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup (60g) unsalted butter, melted

For the cheesecake filling:

  • 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream, whipped
  • 1/4 cup (50g) brown sugar, packed
  • 2 tbsp molasses
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • Pinch of ground cloves

For garnish:

  • Whipped cream
  • Crushed gingersnap cookies
  • Cinnamon sticks or mini gingerbread men (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust:
    • In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter until evenly combined.
    • Divide the mixture evenly among 6 serving glasses or cups and press down lightly to form the crust layer. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
  2. Make the cheesecake filling:
    • In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and brown sugar until smooth and creamy.
    • Add molasses, vanilla extract, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves, and mix until fully incorporated.
    • Gently fold in the whipped cream until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  3. Assemble the cups:
    • Spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling over the prepared crusts in the glasses. Smooth the tops with a spatula or leave a decorative swirl.
    • Chill the cheesecake cups in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until set.
  4. Garnish and serve:
    • Top each cheesecake cup with a dollop of whipped cream. Sprinkle crushed gingersnap cookies on top and add a cinnamon stick or mini gingerbread man for decoration, if desired.

Notes

  • For an extra festive touch, drizzle with caramel or dust lightly with powdered sugar before serving.
  • These cheesecake cups can be made up to 2 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
