Delight in these Mini No-Bake Gingersnap Cakes, a luscious layered dessert featuring spiced cream cheese filling and crisp gingersnap cookies softened to perfection.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 oz. cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tbsp. confectioners’ sugar
  • 2 tbsp. jarred caramel or dulce de leche, plus more for drizzling
  • 1/4 tsp. pumpkin pie or gingerbread spice blend
  • 1 1/2 cups cold heavy whipping cream
  • 2 (5.25-oz.) boxes thin gingersnap cookies (about 60 cookies)
  • A large piping bag
  • An open star or French star tip (between 1/2″ and 3/4″ in diameter)

Instructions

  1. In the large bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the softened cream cheese, confectioners’ sugar, caramel sauce, and pumpkin pie spice on medium speed until completely smooth and combined, about 2 minutes. Slowly add the cold heavy whipping cream and continue beating on medium speed until medium peaks form, which should take around 3 minutes. Transfer this whipped cream filling to a large piping bag fitted with your chosen star tip.
  2. Lay out 12 gingersnap cookies on a baking sheet. Pipe a layer of the cream filling over each cookie using a zigzag motion. Place a second cookie on top of the cream layer and gently press down. Pipe more cream over the second cookie. Repeat this layering two more times, so each mini cake has five cookies stacked with cream in between, finishing with a top cookie. On the top cookie, pipe a large rosette or multiple mini rosettes for decoration.
  3. Refrigerate the assembled cakes until the cream is firm and set, about 1 hour. Then, loosely cover the cakes with plastic wrap and continue chilling to allow the cookies to soften, at least 3 hours and up to overnight for best texture.
  4. Just before serving, drizzle extra caramel sauce over the cakes for an added touch of sweetness and visual appeal.

Notes

  • Allow the cakes to chill for at least 3 hours for best texture.
  • Drizzle with extra caramel just before serving.
