Preparation
- Crush the Walkers Shortbread Gingerbread Men into fine crumbs using a food processor or rolling pin. In a mixing bowl, combine the crumbs with melted unsalted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of dessert cups or mini mason jars.
- In a saucepan over low heat, create a double boiler. Add high-quality white chocolate to melt. Stir gently until melted and smooth, then let cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, beat room temperature cream cheese until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, orange zest, and juice, mixing until smooth. Fold in the cooled melted white chocolate.
- Whip heavy cream in a separate bowl until stiff peaks form, about 3-5 minutes. Gently fold into the cheesecake mixture in two additions.
- In a saucepan, combine mixed berries, red wine (or cranberry juice), sugar, and spices over medium heat. Simmer for 5-7 minutes until berries are tender. Stir in orange zest and juice, then let cool.
- Spoon the cheesecake filling into the crust cups, layering generously. Smooth the tops and refrigerate for at least 4 hours until fully set.
- Spoon the cooled mulled wine fruit on top of each cheesecake and garnish with optional sugared cranberries and herb sprigs before serving.
