These little ice cream cheesecake bites will soon become your favorite holiday goodies and are perfect for entertaining this season. Make your gingerbread cheesecake bites ahead of time and just store in the freezer to be ready for when the party begins. They’re good to store for up to 2 months but don’t keep very well in the fridge. If you planning on entertaining, take them out of the freezer about an hour before serving.

It would be nice that if you are going to say that you posted a recipe that you make sure that you did post it. I have looked for 3 recipes on your you postings and could not find them
Hi Neil. The recipe is on the second page. All you had to do after reading the article is press the “Click to continue reading” button. Here’s the link to the second page https://theseamanmom.com/cheesecake-ice-cream-bites/2/
Made these for a “Moms Club” night-in at my house and they were a HIT! –The only problem…too easy to pop them in your mouth, one after another…after another, after another… I have celiac disease (ugh) so instead of laboring over gluten-free gingerbread to make the crumbles, I used (store-bought) gluten-free graham crackers.
Loved the make-ahead aspect, too! Making again this weekend for Book Club next week! This time I’m going to try just spreading it out really uniform in the pan to freeze and instead of scooping out to roll in crumbs, I’m going to attempt to cut them into squares/bars. Fingers crossed
Hi, CC. Thanks so much for this lovely comment, you just made my day! I’m so happy you and your moms club enjoyed these, they truly are amazing (and addictive lol)
These look wonderful!! Can you tell me how many this will make? I can’t wait to try it for our church group.
Hi Sally. It depends on how big you make them. I got about 24.
