  3. Step 3: In a separate bowl, whip 1 cup heavy cream with an electric mixer on high until soft peaks form, about 3 minutes.
  4. Step 4: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until no streaks remain.
  5. Step 5: Crush 1/2 cup ginger snap cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or rolling pin.
  6. Step 6: To assemble, layer 1/4 cup cream cheese mixture, 2 tbsp ginger snap crumbs, and 1/4 cup cream cheese mixture in a glass, repeating twice to make three layers. Top with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of extra ginger snap crumbs.
