No-Bake Mini Mason Jar Spiced Cheesecakes are creamy, cozy individual desserts layered in mason jars with a spiced cookie crust and warmly spiced cheesecake filling—perfect for fall gatherings or easy make-ahead treats.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs or crushed spiced cookies (like gingersnaps)
  • 4 tablespoons melted butter
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream or 1 cup whipped topping
  • Optional toppings: whipped cream, crushed nuts, caramel sauce, extra cookie crumbs

Instructions

  1. Mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until texture resembles wet sand.
  2. Spoon 2–3 tablespoons of crust into each mini mason jar and press down to form a base layer.
  3. In a bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger; mix until combined.
  4. Whip heavy cream to soft peaks and gently fold into the spiced cream cheese mixture (or fold in whipped topping).
  5. Pipe or spoon cheesecake filling over the crust layer in each jar and smooth the top.
  6. Cover jars and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  7. Top with whipped cream, caramel, nuts, or cookie crumbs just before serving.

Notes

  • Swap spices for pumpkin pie or chai spice blends for variation.
  • Use chocolate graham crackers or Biscoff cookies for the crust.
  • Swirl in cranberry sauce or apple butter for a festive twist.
  • Use plant-based cream cheese and coconut whip for dairy-free version.
  • Can be frozen for up to 1 month—thaw overnight before serving.
