To make these Gingerbread Cheesecake Bars, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups gingersnap cookie crumbs
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- Whipped cream and additional gingersnap cookies for garnish (optional)
To begin, preheat your oven to 325°F and line an 8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, mix together the gingersnap cookie crumbs and melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish and bake for 10 minutes.
While the crust is baking, prepare the cheesecake filling. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth. Add in the sour cream, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg, and beat until well combined.
Pour the cheesecake filling over the baked crust and smooth out the top with a spatula. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly. Let the cheesecake cool to room temperature, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
When ready to serve, cut the cheesecake into bars and garnish with whipped cream and additional gingersnap cookies, if desired. The Gingerbread Cheesecake Bars are creamy, spicy, and sweet, making them the perfect holiday dessert for any occasion.
