Mini Gingerbread Cheesecake Bites are mini cheesecakes with a delicious gingerbread cookie crust. These gingerbread cheesecakes provide a taste of Christmas in every bite. 

With a vanilla cheesecake filling inside of mini gingerbread cups and drizzled with melted white chocolate, these mini cheesecakes are perfect when you want a bite of the dessert without baking a whole cheesecake.

Why You’ll Love Mini Gingerbread Cheesecake Bites

When you are surrounded by holiday desserts, such as whole cakes, cheesecakes, pies, and puddings, sometimes you want just a bite to satisfy your sweet tooth.

These Mini Gingerbread Cheesecakes are the perfect holiday dessert finger food for a Christmas party or for a party of one. Sharing is optional not required. 🙂

Why This Gingerbread Cheesecake Recipe Works

First, this recipe is really easy to make because we are starting with a gingerbread cake mix to make the crust. 

The cheesecake filling requires only 5 ingredients, it is really quick and easy to make, but even more, fun to eat!

Furthermore, I am including step by step instructions with photos to make the recipe easy to follow.

Below I discuss the ingredients and possible substitutions in case you don’t have a specific ingredient on hand. However, if you are looking for the specific measurements of each ingredient, be sure to scroll down to the bottom of this article, just above the comments, for the printable recipe card, which includes all the ingredients and the specific amounts of each one.

Gingerbread Crust

  • Gingerbread cake mix – I used a 14.5-ounce box of gingerbread cake mix.
  • Water
  • Butter – I recommend using real butter because it provides the best flavor and texture.

Cheesecake Filling

  • Cream cheese – Let it sit out for about an hour so it will soften.
  • Vanilla – I recommend using pure vanilla extract instead of the imitation vanilla for the best flavor.
  • Sugar
  • White chocolate chips
  • Sprinkles – The sprinkles are optional but they give the mini cheesecakes a pop of color and make it fun for a holiday or birthday party.

Pumpkin Pecan Cheesecake Bars – Pumpkin Pecan Cheesecake Bars with a crunchy Gingersnap crust, a layer of creamy pumpkin cheesecake, and a crumbly pecan topping drizzled in a sweet vanilla glaze make this a fantastic dessert.

Cherry Cheesecake Brownies – Cherry Cheesecake Brownies look beautiful and taste even better.  I use my Best Brownies recipe for the brownie layer and then a simple cheesecake recipe for the cheesecake layer.  Then it is topped with cherry pie filling that is swirled in with the cheesecake layer.

    These look so good! I have a ton of leftover gingerbread from making gingerbread houses. I think I’ll make this as a dip to go with it.

      Hi Daralyn,

      Since these have cream cheese in them, then they should be refrigerated until ready to serve.

      Thanks,

      Michele
