Steps:
- Place yogurt in a strainer lined with a coffee filter and set over a bowl. Refrigerate for at least 40 minutes to allow liquid to drain. Discard liquid and set yogurt aside.

- Combine gingersnap cookies, amaretti cookies, and butter in a bowl; mix well. Press crust into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven until golden, about 12 minutes.
- Remove crust from oven and reduce temperature to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Let crust cool completely.
- While crust cools, beat cream cheese, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, and salt together in a mixing bowl using an electric mixer until well blended. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating on low speed and scraping the sides of the bowl after each addition. Stir in yogurt. Pour filling into the cooled crust.
- Bake in the preheated oven until cake is set on sides but slightly shimmers in center, about 50 minutes.

VANILLA CHAI CHEESECAKE
This recipe is from the Oregon Chai website. I LOVE Oregon Chai- because of course I am from Oregon- but its great really! If you don't have Oregon Chai substitute another brand like TAZO. I haven't tried this yet but wanted to post it so I don't loose it! Cooking time includes crust.

Steps:
- Simmer 1 cup Oregon Chia Original Concentrate until reduced to 1/2 cup.
- Cool.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Mix together crust ingredients.
- Press well into the bottom of a greased 9-inch springform pan.
- Bake for 12 minutes.
- When you take pan out of the oven, reduce heat to 290 degrees.
- Beat cream cheese with mixer until smooth.
- Add chai reduction and vanilla, blend just until smooth, scraping down sides as you go.
- Add sugar, cornstarch, and spices. Taste to adjust flavors, but be aware that spices will intensify in the oven.
- Add eggs, stir by hand until just incorporated.
- Pour into springform pan, sprinkle a little cardamom on top.
- Put a baking dish with 1 inch water in the bottom of your oven.
- Cook cheesecake on middle rack for 55 minutes.
- Turn off oven, just barely crack oven door until steam stops coming out (30 seconds or so).
- Close it back up and let it go for another 55 minutes.
- Take out of oven, slide knife around the edges of the pan to release cake and allow for contraction while cooling.
- Place on a cooling rack and cover with a large bowl. Let cool until it's room temperature, then move to refrigerator.
- When cold, you can freeze it for longer storage.
Tips:
- To ensure a smooth and creamy cheesecake, make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing.
- For a more intense chai flavor, use a strong chai tea or add a teaspoon of chai spice to the cheesecake batter.
- If you don't have a springform pan, you can use a regular 9-inch pie plate. Just be sure to trim the edges of the crust so that it fits the plate.
- To prevent the cheesecake from cracking, bake it in a water bath. Place the springform pan inside a larger roasting pan and fill the roasting pan with hot water.
- After baking, let the cheesecake cool completely in the refrigerator before serving. This will help it set and firm up.
Conclusion:
This vanilla chai cheesecake is the perfect dessert for any occasion. It's creamy, flavorful, and has just the right amount of sweetness. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and impressive dessert that your friends and family will love.
