Preparation Steps
  1. Prepare the crust by crushing gingerbread cookies into fine crumbs. Combine with melted unsalted butter and press into the bottoms of serving cups.
  2. Make the filling by beating softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth. Add vanilla extract, ground ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves, mixing well.
  3. Fold in whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture gently to maintain the airy texture.
  4. Assemble the cups by spooning or piping the filling over the crusts. Smooth the tops for an even presentation.
  5. Chill in the refrigerator for about 2-3 hours to allow the filling to set.
  6. Decorate cups with whipped cream, crushed gingerbread, mini cookies, and a sprinkle of ground cinnamon before serving.
