Time 4h50m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 21

2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground cloves
¼ teaspoon salt
¾ cup margarine, softened
1 cup white sugar
1 egg
¼ cup molasses
1 tablespoon water
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese
½ cup powdered sugar
½ cup brown sugar
6 tablespoons molasses
2 teaspoons ground ginger
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
½ teaspoon ground cloves
3 cups whipped topping
2 tablespoons whipped topping, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Sift together flour, ginger, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, and salt for the cookie base in a bowl.
  • Cream margarine and white sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add egg and beat until well combined. Stir in molasses and water. Gradually stir flour mixture into the molasses mixture. Transfer dough to a 9x13-inch pan, patting it down so it covers the entire bottom of the pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, 25 to 30 minutes. Allow to cool completely.
  • Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and brown sugar for the filling in a large bowl with an electric mixer until smooth. Add molasses, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves and stir, scraping down the sides of the bowl, until mixture is smooth. Fold in 3 cups whipped topping until well combined. Spread filling into the cooled cookie base. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until set, at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • Garnish with remaining whipped topping before serving.

I had a hard time finding gingersnap cookies, so I used graham crackers instead. The bars still turned out great!

These cheesecake bars were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I would probably reduce the amount of sugar in the crust next time.
