Ginger-Brandy Cheesecake image

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.

This cheesecake was just okay. It wasn't as flavorful as I was hoping it would be.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cheesecake turned out really dense and crumbly.

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of ginger, but I'm glad I did! The ginger brandy flavor was not overpowering, and the cheesecake was delicious.
