We made this for Tory's work Christmas party. If you like gingerbread and cheesecake then I'm sure you'll love this! Not sure if the gingerbread cookie mix is available year-round or not but you could always use your own gingerbread cookie recipe if you really wanted to make it.
Ginger Cheesecake Dessert
1 pouch Betty Crocker® gingerbread cookie mix
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 tablespoon water
1 egg
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk (not evaporated)
1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
2 cups frozen (thawed) whipped topping
Heat oven to 375°F. Spray bottom and sides of 13x9-inch pan with cooking spray. In large bowl, stir cookie mix, butter, water and egg until soft dough forms.
Make 5 cookies by shaping dough into 5 (1-inch) balls. Place balls 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten slightly with bottom of glass dipped in sugar. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until edges are set. Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack.
Meanwhile, press remaining dough in pan. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until set. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
In large bowl, beat milk, cream cheese and lemon juice with electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Fold in whipped topping. Spread over cooled cookie base.
Crumble 5 baked cookies; sprinkle over cream cheese mixture. Cover; refrigerate about 1 hour or until chilled. Store covered in refrigerator.
