Prepare the gingerbread crust:
  1. In a medium bowl, combine the crushed gingerbread cookies and melted butter.
  2. Stir until well mixed and the crumbs hold together.
  3. Divide the mixture evenly between serving cups, pressing it down to form a crust at the bottom of each cup.
Make the cheesecake filling:
  1. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
  2. Add the vanilla extract, ground ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves, and mix until well combined.
  3. Gently fold in the whipped cream, being careful not to deflate it, until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Assemble the cheesecake cups:
  1. Spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling over the gingerbread crust in each cup.
  2. Smooth the tops with a spatula or the back of a spoon.
Chill the cheesecake cups:
  1. Refrigerate the cheesecake cups for at least 2-3 hours, or until the filling is set and firm.
Decorate:
  1. Before serving, top each cheesecake cup with a dollop of whipped cream.
  2. Sprinkle with crushed gingerbread cookies, and place a mini gingerbread man cookie on top for a festive touch.
  3. Lightly dust with ground cinnamon if desired.
