For the Cheesecake Filling:

  • 24 oz (680g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup molasses
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

👨‍🍳 How to Make Gingerbread Cheesecake

Step 1: Prepare the Crust

Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Mix gingersnap crumbs, brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter in a bowl. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 8–10 minutes, then set aside to cool.

Step 2: Make the Filling

In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and brown sugar until smooth and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each. Mix in sour cream, molasses, vanilla, and spices. Beat until fully combined and creamy.

Step 3: Assemble & Bake

Pour the filling over the cooled crust. Place the pan in a larger baking dish and add hot water halfway up the sides (water bath method). Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until the center is just slightly jiggly.

Step 4: Cool & Chill

Turn off oven, crack the door, and let the cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour. Then transfer to the fridge to chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Step 5: Add Toppings & Serve

Top with whipped cream, crushed gingersnaps, or your favorite festive garnishes before serving.
