Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Prepare the crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the melted unsalted butter, graham cookie crumbs, brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of ground ginger, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, lemon zest, and a pinch of sea salt. Mix well to combine and then press this delightful mixture into the bottom of your cups.
  2. Melt the chocolate: Gently melt the white baking chocolate using a microwave or double boiler. Allow it to cool slightly while you prepare the filling, ensuring it’s smooth and pourable.
  3. Cream the cheese: In a separate bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and room temperature unsalted butter using a hand mixer, until the mixture is smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Combine filling ingredients: Next, add the sour cream, melted white chocolate, 1 teaspoon of ground ginger, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground cardamom, vanilla extract, and another pinch of sea salt. Mix until everything is smoothly incorporated and heavenly.
  5. Assemble the cups: Spoon the luscious cream cheese mixture over the prepared crusts in each cup, taking care to smooth the tops for a beautiful finish.
  6. Chill to perfection: Place the cups in the refrigerator and let them chill for at least 30 minutes to set before serving. This will ensure a beautifully firm texture.
