Directions

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese on medium speed until it is completely smooth and creamy with no lumps.
-
Gradually add the sugar to the cream cheese, beating continuously until fully incorporated and the mixture is glossy.
-
Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula to ensure all ingredients are well combined.
-
Pour or spread the cream cheese mixture over the prepared gingersnap crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
-
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the filling is firmly set and cold, before slicing and serving.
