Mini Gingerbread Cheesecakes
Nothing is as delicious as cheesecake, except of course, this Gingerbread Mini Cheesecakes recipe. I love the rich cheesecake flavor that goes so beautifully with the classic holiday treat of gingerbread. Make these little bites as a special dessert for your family or the perfect treat to take to holiday gatherings.

Notes
- I find using parchment baking cups works really well for these little cheesecakes. They don’t stick at all. I have used both Walmart’s Great Value brand gingersnap cookies and President’s Choice brand gingersnap cookies and both have fit perfectly in the bottom of a standard size muffin tin.
