How to

My secret weapon is this International Delight Gingerbread Latte Creamer! Just a tablespoon or 2 in the cheesecake gives it the perfect holiday flavor!

I know that they are no longer making International Delight Gingerbread Latte Creamer. It is OK. You can make your own Homemade Gingerbread Coffee Creamer and it is so good!

Place the cream cheese in a bowl with the sugar and creamer and whip with hand mixer. Add in the cool whip and stir in with a spoon or spatula, until just combined.

I popped that cheesecake batter in the freezer and then scooped it with my cookie baller. And now my favorite part...I rolled the cheesecake balls in gingersnap cookie crumbs! OMG! SO SO GOOD!

Storing

Just pop them back in the freezer in an airtight container until you are ready to serve. Perfect for those last minute guest, or a late night snack in front of the Christmas tree. Who says Santa loves only cookies?! I am pretty sure he loves cheesecake too!

These will keep in the freezer for up to 3 months.

  No, you can use a spoon. Just might be a little messier. 😉

What other substitute can you use if you can`t find gingersnap crumbs anywhere?

  If you can't find any gingersnap cookies to turn into crumbs I would think some cinnamon graham crackers would be good.

Adding an update to this - International Delight did sell this creamer for the 2015 holiday season. So I googled a replacement /substitute and found this post: http://www.cookitfresh.com/2011/12/flavored-creamers/. I did not have the time to make that so instead, I made more of a concentrate with the key ingredients. It was 2-3 tsp maple syrup, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 1 tsp cinnamon and 1 tsp ground ginger. I mixed that in with the cream cheese and sugar. It turned out great! I also hand rolled the balls, like meatballs.

international delights doesn't sell gingerbread creamer! Wondering if coffee mate might work?!
- Amanda @ A Few Short Cuts

  Coffee Mat would work or you could omit the creamer and just roll in the gingersnaps. Totally up to you.

Could you make without the creamer and just roll.in ginger snap cookies? Would that be enough gingerbread flavor?

  Yes, I have done it that way before and they are still amazing!

Do these hold their form once they come out of the freezer? Or would it be good to dip in chocolate melts and sprinkle with some gingersnap crumbs? Worried about these kinda melting or becoming blob-like.
