Ingredients

  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs (or crushed gingersnaps)
  • 4 tablespoons melted butter
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar (optional)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar

  • Optional garnish: whipped cream, crushed gingerbread cookies, cinnamon, mini gingerbread men

Instructions

  1. Mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and brown sugar in a bowl until the mixture resembles wet sand.
  2. Press 2–3 tablespoons of crumb mixture into the bottom of each serving glass or jar.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth and fluffy.
  4. Add powdered sugar, molasses, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and vanilla extract. Beat until well combined.
  5. Fold in the whipped cream or topping gently to create a light filling.
