This Mini No-Bake Eggnog Cheesecakes with Gingersnap Crust recipe was created in partnership with Ninja® Intelli-Sense™ Kitchen System with Auto-Spiralizer™. I received complimentary products and compensation to facilitate my review, but all opinions within are my own.
I must be on some kind of eggnog binge because I honestly cannot get enough of the stuff in the form of desserts. Today... Mini No-Bake Eggnog Cheesecakes with Gingersnap Crust. Before that? Gingerbread Sandwich Cookies Eggnog Frosting, Glazed Eggnog Cookies , Eggnog Cheesecake with Gingersnap Crust, and a whole list of other Eggnog Desserts here.
These little 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. You could even give them as gifts by adding a lid and pretty ribbon to the tiny jars!
When considering a new recipe to make, I really wanted to simplify, simplify, simplify. With the busy holiday season, everybody is always in a hurry so I wanted a recipe that was easy to make and could be ready to enjoy quickly. This recipe fits the bill. There's no baking and hardly any dishes to wash when you're done.
And it was made even easier by using my brand-new Ninja® Intelli-Sense™ Kitchen System with Auto-Spiralizer™. I love how versatile this product is and that it can keep up with all of our kitchen needs. It operates as a blender and food processor (not to mention everything else it does) and replaces so many other appliances!
It can be used for desserts, sauces, smoothies, and more! I honestly can't wait for summertime and fresh veggies so I can make fresh salsa with the food processor and zucchini noodles (aka zoodles) with the Auto-Spiralizer™!

Mini No-Bake Eggnog Cheesecakes with Gingersnap Crust
- Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
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
For the crust:
- 8 oz. or about 36 gingersnap cookies
- 2 Tbsp. sugar
- ¼ cup salted butter, melted
For the filling:
- 2 (8 oz.) packages cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup sweetened condensed milk
- ½ cup eggnog
- 3 Tbsp. sugar
- ½ Tbsp. vanilla extract (I use homemade!)
- 1 tsp. rum extract, optional
Garnishes (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!
Notes
You can also make this in a full-size pie plate. It makes enough for a deep-dish pie plate and it turns out to be a beautiful no-bake cheesecake.

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!!!
Rose
LOL - thank you Sharan! Merry Christmas!
