Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Grease one side of 2 to 3 sheets of parchment paper. Lay them butter-side up inside a 10-inch springform pan, arranging so that they cover all sides, and crimping the edges to ensure they stay in place. Place the springform pan on a sheet tray.
- In a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the cream cheese, granulated sugar and salt. Cream on medium-high speed until smooth, about 1 minute. Scrape down the sides.
- Turn the mixer down to medium and add the condensed milk. Beat to combine, then scrape down the bowl. Add the heavy cream, fresh ginger, ground ginger, vanilla and minced lemon zest. Fully combine, then scrape down the sides.
- Turn the mixer to medium-high and add the eggs one at a time, being sure that each is fully combined before adding the next.
- Add the flour, then beat again, scraping down the sides.
- Pour the cheesecake into the center of the springform pan and tap it lightly on the counter to remove any air bubbles.
- Bake for 30 minutes, then rotate. Continue to bake until dark golden brown, another 30 to 35 minutes. Allow to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until completely set, 6 hours.
- Remove the cheesecake from the pan, then peel down the paper. (You can leave the paper in place for a rustic look.)
- Mix together the lemon curd, limoncello, sour cream, lemon juice and remaining lemon zest in a bowl.
- Pour evenly over the top of the cheesecake, then sprinkle with the powdered sugar and garnish with the basil. Cut into slices and serve.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan. Wrap the outside of the springform pan 3 to 4 times with aluminum foil.
- Mix cookie crumbs and melted butter together until mixture resembles wet sand. Press into the prepared springform pan until bottom is evenly covered.
- Combine cream cheese and brown sugar in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Add molasses, lemon juice, vanilla extract, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, allspice, and salt; mix until well combined. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating briefly after each addition until just combined. Pour batter over the crust in the pan. Tap the pan on the counter several times to remove any air bubbles.
- Place the springform pan into a larger baking pan, and fill the baking pan with 1 inch hot water, making sure no water gets into the cheesecake batter.
- Bake in the water bath in the preheated oven until the edges of the cheesecake are set and the middle jiggles slightly, about 1 hour. Turn off the oven without removing the cheesecake, leaving it inside until cooled, 1 to 2 hours.
- Remove from the oven and water bath. Run the tip of a table knife around the edges of the springform pan before removing to a serving platter. Refrigerate until completely chilled, at least 4 hours.
- Combine whipping cream, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt for the cinnamon whipped cream in a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form; do not overmix.
- Top cheesecake with whipped cream just before serving.

Tips:
- Use fresh ginger: Fresh ginger has a more intense flavor than ground ginger, so it's best to use it in this recipe if you can. If you only have ground ginger, you can use 1/2 teaspoon instead of 1 tablespoon.
- Don't overbeat the cheesecake batter: Overbeating the batter can make the cheesecake tough, so be sure to mix it just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cheesecake in a water bath: This will help to prevent the cheesecake from cracking.
- Let the cheesecake cool completely before refrigerating: This will help to prevent the cheesecake from sinking.
- Serve the cheesecake with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings include whipped cream, fresh berries, and ginger syrup.
