There is something unmistakably comforting about gingerbread at Christmas, warm spice, soft sweetness, and the gentle nostalgia of kitchens glowing with December light. Our Starstruck Gingerbread Christmas Cheesecake is crafted to honour that feeling. It begins with a traditional gingerbread biscuit base, hand-mixed, pressed, and baked, that forms the aromatic foundation for a creamy cheesecake filling.
The cheesecake itself is light, smooth, and intentionally calm in flavour. It’s created to complement the spice beneath it, not overpower it. Once baked, each cake is finished with handcrafted gingerbread stars and a fresh sprig of rosemary from our garden. These small touches elevate it into a dessert that feels festive, generous, and beautifully understated.
Whether you’re hosting Christmas lunch, gathering with family, or seeking something handmade for gifting, this cheesecake brings warmth and celebration to the moment.

At Dello Mano, Christmas isn’t about excess. It’s about slowing down, choosing ingredients with intention, and crafting food that reflects care. The Starstruck Gingerbread Christmas Cheesecake is made through a quiet, steady process that prioritises quality and flavour over shortcuts.
The base begins with a blend of ginger, golden syrup, and butter. It is kneaded by hand to ensure even distribution of spice, then pressed into tins and baked until gently caramelised. This base is the anchor of the cheesecake; warm, aromatic, and filled with seasonal character.
Every gingerbread star is shaped and baked individually. We place them by hand on each cheesecake, then finish with a sprig of rosemary from our own garden. This detail adds freshness, colour, and a sense of handmade celebration.
The process is simple, honest, and aligned with what we believe handmade food should be.
Christmas is a season of giving, and food is one of the most sincere gifts you can share. A handmade cheesecake allows the recipient to pause, savour, and enjoy a moment created with care.

Gingerbread is a flavour deeply connected to memory, warm spices, biscuit tins, children’s baking, Christmas markets, and traditions passed down. It’s a flavour that speaks softly of comfort and celebration.
Pairing gingerbread with cheesecake creates a dessert that is grounded in tradition but elevated with modern, handmade refinement. The handcrafted stars echo the biscuits many of us grew up baking, while the rosemary sprig brings a fresh, natural element that feels both festive and calming.
This is a dessert that captures the essence of Christmas without excess, simply flavour, warmth, and the quiet beauty of doing things by hand.
At Dello Mano, we believe that handmade food helps shape meaningful celebrations. This cheesecake is made to offer:
A calm, elegant centrepiece
A thoughtful approach to seasonal flavour
