{No Bake} White Chocolate Cheesecake Gingerbread Trifles

Wonderful dessert and you wouldn’t believe just how easy it is! First, it is a “no bake” dessert. Second, it is made with soft gingerbread cookies and smooth, creamy white chocolate cheesecake. Perfection!

We are back this week to continue our Progressive Dinner. Obviously, this week we are sharing dessert recipes.

Holidays can be a busy time in the kitchen. There are cookies to be baked for every holiday party, every office party, every neighbor’s gift and every cookie exchange. Phew…that is a whole lot of baking. Not to mention all the other goodies that will be made in the kitchen this season. So I decided to make a little something delicious that can be ready in about ten minute (yes, you heard me…ten minutes!), and it can be made ahead of time, covered and refrigerated until ready to use.

I made these individual White Chocolate Cheesecake Gingerbread Trifles. I can’t even tell you what is the “best” part about this dessert because they are all good. For one, it’s white chocolate cheesecake and gingerbread cookie. “Yum” doesn’t even begin to describe it. Two, cookies can be picked up in bakery section of the grocery store, which is exactly what I did. Third, Ball jars are perfect for making these trifles because they can be pre-made, closed and stored ahead of time. Finally, did I mention they only take about ten minutes?!!

Author: lyuba

Ingredients

  • 6-8 soft gingerbread cookies
  • 8 oz cream cheese room temperature
  • 3 Tbsp. sour cream
  • 3 Tbsp. white granulated sugar
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • Optional: extra cookie and grated chocolate chips for topping

Instructions

  • In a bowl on an electric mixer, beat cream cheese, sugar and sour cream until light and fluffy, 2-3 minutes. Scrape sides and bottom of the bowl.
  • Melt chocolate chips in a microwave (in a microwave safe container), for one minute, on half the power. Stir using a large fork until all smooth. If needed, microwave for another 30 second, again on half the power.
  • Pour chocolate into cream cheese while beating on medium. Scrape sides and bottom of the bowl and beat for a couple more seconds.
  • Transfer cheesecake mixture into a piping bag and cut off the tip. (You can attach a tip to make the cheesecake layers pretty, or to swirl the top layer.)
  • Break up one cookie in each of the three jars. (1 cookie per jar.)
  • Add some cheesecake over cookie. Repeat with another cookie in each jar and more cheesecake mixture on top.
  • You can add some cookie crumbles on top of last layer and grate some white chocolate.
  • Serve or refrigerate.

    Hey! You had me at “no bake”! My brain is spinning, hoping to find some gluten free gingerbread cookies. The recipe card only has the cookies listed as ingredients, it appears that the rest of the ingredients didn’t get labeled on the card. Maybe it’s just my browser as the last commenter didn’t mention it, but would you double check that recipe card for me? I NEED THIS RECIPE 🙂 Thanks!

      Hey, Janeen!
      Not just you. There is something that’s messing up my recipe coding and it’s the second time it did that to me. I’m trying to figure out what causes the problem but I fixed the recipe for now. Hopefully it is visible for everyone now and not just in my editing mode. Please let me know if you still can’t see it!
      Thank you so much!

        It looks great, thank you! We often have large families (6 kids plus) over for dinner. I think I’ll try this next time as a make-ahead dessert (in smaller jelly jars). I can just pull them out of the fridge, stick a spoon in, and each kid gets a treat rather than spending a bit of time cutting and serving something else, like pie or brownies. Off to find a gluten free gingerbread recipe…

      I would say no more than 2 days and keep them in the fridge air-tight.
