Method
 

Prepare the Crust
  1. Crush gingerbread cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or rolling pin. Combine cookie crumbs with melted butter in a mixing bowl until well incorporated. Press the mixture into the bottoms of jars to form a crust and chill for about 15 minutes.
Make the Filling
  1. Beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar, molasses, and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined. Sprinkle in ground spices and fold in whipped topping gently.
Assemble the Cups
  1. Once the crusts have chilled, spoon cheesecake mixture over the crusts in each jar, smoothing tops for an even finish. Chill the assembled cups for at least one hour.
Chill and Serve
  1. Remove jars from the refrigerator. Top each cup with whipped cream and crushed gingerbread before serving.
