Yield Makes about 4 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 10

Vegetable-oil cooking spray
12 ounces store-bought gingersnaps (about 45 cookies)
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted
12 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
3/4 cup sugar
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
3 tablespoons sour cream
3/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 tablespoons finely chopped crystallized ginger

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat a 9-by-13-inch rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray; set aside. Place gingersnaps in a food processor; pulse to a powder. Transfer to a small bowl, and stir in butter until well combined. Press gingersnap mixture evenly into bottom of prepared baking sheet. Bake crust until firm, about 12 minutes. Let cool completely.
  • Meanwhile, put cream cheese in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment; mix on medium speed until softened. Mix in sugar, egg, egg yolk, sour cream, and vanilla until well combined. Mix in crystallized ginger.
  • Pour the cream cheese mixture onto crust, and spread evenly with a rubber spatula. Bake, rotating sheet halfway through, until filling has puffed and feels slightly firm to the touch (do not let brown), 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack. Refrigerate, covered with plastic wrap, until set,about 1 hour. To serve, cut into bars.

Tips:

  • Use full-fat cream cheese to ensure a rich and creamy cheesecake filling.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing to prevent lumps.
  • Use fresh ginger for the best flavor. Peel and grate the ginger finely.
  • Do not overmix the cheesecake batter, as this can result in a dense and crumbly cheesecake.
  • Bake the cheesecake in a preheated oven to ensure even cooking.
  • Allow the cheesecake to cool completely before serving to allow the flavors to develop.

Conclusion:

These ginger cheesecake bars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. The creamy cheesecake filling is perfectly complemented by the spicy ginger flavor. These bars are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
