No Bake Eggnog Berry Cheesecakes (Pinterest)INSTRUCTIONS
- Cream cheese, cream, and sugar should be beaten with an electric mixer until thick and smooth. Adding the vanilla and rum/brandy, beat one more to incorporate.
The mixture should be chilled for 30 minutes in the fridge. - Biscuits should be processed into a fine powder in a magic bullet or food processor in the interim. Blitz once more while adding the butter. In eight serving glasses with a capacity of 150ml (or about 2/3 cup), distribute the biscuit crumbs and press some into the bottom of each one.
- Once cooled, place the gingerbread base in each glass, then equally distribute the cheesecake mixture on top, finishing with nutmeg. Serve after adding the berries on top.
