Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, mix the finely crushed gingersnaps with melted butter until the crumbs are evenly moistened and resemble wet sand.
  2. Press the gingersnap mixture firmly into the bottom of a pie dish or small tart pan to form an even crust layer.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese on medium speed until it is completely smooth and creamy with no lumps.
  4. Gradually add the sugar to the cream cheese, beating continuously until fully incorporated and the mixture is glossy.
  5. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula to ensure all ingredients are well combined.
  6. Pour or spread the cream cheese mixture over the prepared gingersnap crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the filling is firmly set and cold, before slicing and serving.
