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 good quality cream cheese that is at room temperature for a smooth and creamy cheesecake filling.
  • Make sure the ginger is finely grated so that it evenly distributes throughout the cheesecake.
  • Do not over-beat the cheesecake filling, as this can make it dense and crumbly.
  • Line the baking pan with parchment paper to make it easy to remove the cheesecake bars.
  • Bake the cheesecake bars until the center is just set. Over-baking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Allow the cheesecake bars to cool completely before refrigerating them. This will help them to set properly.
  • Serve the cheesecake bars with fresh fruit, whipped cream, or ice cream for a delicious dessert.

Conclusion:

These ginger cheesecake bars are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. They are creamy, flavorful, and have the perfect amount of ginger spice. Whether you are a fan of ginger or not, you are sure to love these cheesecake bars. So next time you are looking for a special dessert, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
