Gingerbread Cheesecake PT105M https://img3.recipesrun.com/201907/2019/0801/36/8/723274/300x200x90.jpg The warm, spicy flavors of gingerbread are a natural match for cheesecake. I mean, who doesn’t love a slice of gingerbread cake slathered with cream cheese frosting? This dessert is certainly rich, but it is also packed with lots of spices, including a hefty sprinkle of both ground and fresh ginger, classic cinnamon, allspice that lends a slightly peppery note, and a bit of fresh lemon zest to brighten things up. It can be a little tricky to get the batter completely smooth, so make sure all the ingredients are at room temperature before you start mixing, and take care to bake the cheesecake gently to avoid cracks. The cranberry topping here is optional but it is festive and delicious, and a great little cover-up if the cheesecake does happen to crack. Alternatively, this is great with a bit of lightly sweetened whipped cream or crème fraîche. Slice cheesecake with a clean, hot knife for the tidiest servings. 9 servings Ingredients: 1 tablespoon Chopped crystallized ginger 1/3 cup Granulated sugar 2 teaspoons Dark rum 1/2 cup Orange juice 2 cups Fresh or frozen cranberries 1/2 teaspoon Finely grated lemon zest 2 teaspoons Finely grated fresh ginger 2 tablespoons Dark rum 1/3 cup Unsulfured molasses 3/4 cup Sour cream 4 Large eggs, lightly beaten 1/4 teaspoon Ground nutmeg 1/2 teaspoon Ground cardamom 1/2 teaspoon Ground allspice 2 tablespoons Ground cinnamon 1 tablespoon Ground ginger 2/3 cup Dark brown sugar 2 pounds Cream cheese 5 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted Pinch kosher salt 1/2 teaspoon Ground ginger 1 tablespoon Dark brown sugar 1 3/4 cups Finely ground gingersnap cookie crumbs
