**Weihnachtliches Dessert**
**Ingredients:**
– 1 cup of crushed gingerbread cookies
– 1/2 cup of chopped pecans
– 1/4 cup of melted butter
– 1 package (8 ounces) of cream cheese, softened
– 1/2 cup of powdered sugar
– 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
– 1/2 cup of heavy cream
– 1 cup of cranberry sauce
– Fresh cranberries and mint leaves for garnish
**Instructions:**
1. In a medium bowl, combine the crushed gingerbread cookies, chopped pecans, and melted butter. Mix well until the mixture is evenly moistened.
2. Press the cookie mixture into the bottom of individual serving glasses or a large serving dish to create the first layer of your dessert. Place in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the next layer.
3. In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and continue to beat until well combined.
4. In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until smooth and fluffy.
5. Take the chilled serving glasses or dish out of the refrigerator. Spread a layer of the cream cheese mixture on top of the cookie crust.
6. Next, spoon a layer of cranberry sauce over the cream cheese layer. You can gently swirl the cranberry sauce into the cream cheese mixture for a marbled effect if desired.
7. Repeat the layers with another layer of the cream cheese mixture followed by another layer of cranberry sauce.
8. Finish off your dessert with a dollop of the cream cheese mixture on top and decorate with fresh cranberries and mint leaves for a festive touch.
9. Refrigerate the dessert for at least an hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
