Mini No-Bake Eggnog Cheesecakes with Gingersnap Crust
Description
These little no-bake cheesecakes are super easy to make and I love having single-serve desserts that adults & kids alike can grab and enjoy at a party or get-together. The eggnog flavor is perfect with the gingersnap cookie crust and they’re super creamy and festive!
Ingredients
- 8 oz. or about 36 gingersnap cookies
- 2 Tbsp. sugar
- 1/4 cup salted butter, melted
- 2 (8 oz.) packages cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup eggnog
- 3 Tbsp. sugar
- 1/2 Tbsp. vanilla extract (I use homemade!)
- 1 tsp. rum extract, optional
- Extra gingersnap cookies
- Caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade caramel sauce)
Instructions
Begin by adding the gingersnap cookies to the 64 oz. Precision Processor™ bowl. Chop the cookies to a fine crumb, then add the sugar and melted butter and chop again until well blended.
Pour the crust mixture into a separate bowl, wash the processor bowl and then prepare the filling.
Add the cream cheese, condensed milk, eggnog, sugar, vanilla and rum extract (if desire) to the bowl and blend until smooth.
Next divide the crust between 10-12 small glass jars or containers. Again dividing evenly between your containers, spoon the filling onto the crust.
Chill for at least one hour, then garnish with caramel sauce and a gingersnap cookie, if desired, before serving.
Enjoy!

Hi Rose!
Hope your family gets well soon and you still love them when it’s over, lol! I’ve been fortunate that I haven’t had the flu since 1982. My kids see a box of tissues and instantly have colds, eat infections and the entire array of wonderful Winter illnesses. Somehow I manage to not spray them down with disinfectant and sanitizer and nurse them back to health. Hugs and prayers you make it through unscathed!!! God Bless!!!
LOL – thank you Sharan! Merry Christmas!
