Creamy Winter Spiced Cheesecake Trifle

Print Recipe

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream (or store-bought whipped cream)
  • 1 cup crushed gingersnap cookies (or graham crackers for a milder flavor)
  • 1/4 cup caramel sauce (optional, for drizzling)

Instructions

  • Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:
    • In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and allspice together until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
  • Whip the Cream:
    • In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. If using store-bought whipped cream, you can skip this step.
  • Fold the Whipped Cream into Cheesecake Mixture:
    • Gently fold the whipped cream into the spiced cheesecake mixture until fully combined. Be careful not to deflate the cream.
  • Assemble the Trifle:
    • In serving glasses or a large trifle dish, begin with a layer of crushed gingersnap cookies, followed by a generous layer of the cheesecake filling. Repeat the layers until the dish is filled.
  • Optional Garnishes:
    • Drizzle caramel sauce over the top layer for extra sweetness. You can also sprinkle extra crushed cookies or add a dusting of cinnamon for decoration.
  • Chill and Serve:
    • Refrigerate the trifle for at least 1-2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the trifle to firm up slightly.
