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.

These cheesecake bars were a disappointment. The ginger flavor was overpowering and the bars were very dense. I couldn't even finish one bar.

These cheesecake bars are a bit too sweet for my taste. I would have liked them better if they were less sweet and had a stronger ginger flavor.

These cheesecake bars were good, but not great. The ginger flavor was a bit too strong for my taste and the bars were a bit too dense. I think I would have liked them better if the ginger flavor was more subtle and the bars were a bit lighter and flu

I was a bit skeptical about how the ginger would taste in a cheesecake, but I was pleasantly surprised. The ginger flavor was subtle and complemented the cheesecake perfectly. The bars were also very easy to make and didn't take long to bake.
