No-Bake Gingerbread Cheesecake
No-Bake Gingerbread Cheesecake is a quick and delicious No-Bake Christmas dessert. This Gingerbread cheesecake needs no extra freezing time. Also, you serve these in glasses so everyone gets to have a whole glass of delicious Gingerbread Cheesecake.
Hey everyone! This cold and cozy season is all about making the most decadent desserts of the year. And what's more delicious than a cheesecake. This drool-worthy Gingerbread cheesecake is so Amazing.
There is a lower crust of butter and gingersnap cookie crumbs which is topped with a creamy gingerbread cheesecake filling, followed by a cool whip and a final drizzle of some melted dark chocolate.
You can also drizzle with caramel sauce. However, I feel that chocolate and ginger flavors go great together. Especially in this recipe. After testing and re-testing this recipe a number of times, I think I like it the most with a chocolate drizzle, rather than caramel. Caramel makes this one too sweet. While Chocolate gives this a perfectly balanced taste between bitter and sweet.
It's that beautiful time of the year again. And it's time to enjoy the beautiful flavors of Eggnog, Peppermint, and Gingerbread. If you ask me, I think my favorite Christmas flavors are Eggnog and Gingerbread. Have you tried my Gingerbread Truffles yet?
However, I love Peppermint desserts as well. Especially, I make those for my boys. They love Peppermint desserts. It's got that perfect hint of freshness which makes these so perfect for the holidays. Taking of Peppermint desserts have you tried my Peppermint Oreo Truffles or Peppermint Sugar Cookie Bars or Dark Chocolate Peppermint Truffles yet?

How to make No-Bake Gingerbread Cheesecake
- Pulse the gingersnap cookies and melted butter in a food processor or mix them with a spoon. Combine them to make the lower crust.
- Layer this at the bottom of a glass.
- To make the Gingerbread Cheesecake filling, combine Cream cheese with Brown Sugar, Ground Cinnamon, Ground Nutmeg, Ground Ginger, Vanilla Extract, Molasses, and Cool Whip until light and creamy, using a handheld mixer with a paddle attachment or a stand mixer. Beating this filling until it gets light and fluffy gives it that perfect cheesecake texture making it luscious and creamy.

You can make this entire Cheesecake, just leave out the frosting on top, wrap it up tight using plastic food wrap and aluminum wrap and freeze this. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before you serve.
