Lemon Ginger Cheesecake Mousse Cups are a no-bake dessert that no one can resist! get the recipe at barefeetinthekitchen.com

Creamy lemony cheesecake mousse with a chewy ginger and lemon crust proved to be completely and totally irresistible. Adding a pile of fresh berries on top took these treats right over the top and I could not get enough of this dessert. I wound up making this dessert three different times last week because I kept craving them!
I adore lemon desserts. Lemon is my first pick almost every time I’m given the choice, so you know that when I saw Walkers new Gluten Free Ginger and Lemon Shortbread, I almost squealed with happiness. Okay, I’ll admit it, there was much squealing, no almost about it.

These cookies did not disappoint either. Loaded with chewy bites of ginger and plenty of lemon, I have raved to countless friends about just how awesome these cookies are. Between the Ginger and Lemon and the Chocolate Chip varieties, Walkers Shortbreads have been my favorite sweet treat for the past month.
These cheesecake cups can be made in 4-ounce jars, small ramekins, or even disposable plastic cups for a crowd. Any dish that will hold about ½ – ¾ cup will work nicely. I made a triple batch of these Lemon Ginger Cheesecake Mousse Cups last weekend and shared them with some friends and family. They disappeared in minutes and everyone who tasted them loved them!

Lemon Ginger Cheesecake Mousse Cups

Servings: 6 -8 servings

Ingredients 

  • 1 4.9- ounce package Walkers Gluten Free Ginger and Lemon Shortbread
  • 16 ounces cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2/3 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice about 1 medium lemon’s worth
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • fresh berries for topping

Instructions

  • Place a shortbread round in each dish. Use the end of a rolling pin or your fingers to crush each cookie and press the crumbs into the bottom of each dish.
  • Place the cream cheese and sugar in a mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer until smooth, about 2 minutes. Add the cream, lemon juice, and salt. Beat again, until smooth and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Scoop the creamy mixture over the crumb crusts, dividing it between each dish. Top with additional shortbread crumbs and the berries of your choice.
  • Refrigerate until ready to serve, at least 1 hour. Enjoy!

Notes

Regular Shortbread Rounds can be substituted for the Lemon Ginger Shortbread, if you have trouble finding them in your stores. When making these for a crowd, instead of
crumbling each cookie in the bottom of a jar, place the cookies in a zip-close bag and crush them with a rolling pin, then divide the crumbs between the jars.
