Comes from Moosewood cookbook. I love Gingersnap cookies and they are the starting point for this desert. Sounds delicious and different than usual cheesecake. Can't wait to make. Placing here for safe keeping.

I was a little hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of ginger, but I'm glad I did. The ginger flavor was very subtle and the cheesecake was still very delicious.

This cheesecake was a little too boozy for my taste, but other than that it was delicious. The ginger flavor was subtle and the crust was perfect.
