filling into the cooled crust, and smooth the top with a spatula.
6. Bake the cheesecake in the preheated oven for about 50–60 minutes, or until the center is just set and slightly wobbly. It will firm up as it cools.
7. Once baked, turn off the oven, crack open the oven door, and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for about an hour. This helps prevent it from cracking.
8. After it’s cooled a bit, let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight if you can resist!
9. When you’re ready to serve, top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of ground cinnamon. It adds a beautiful finishing touch and enhances that holiday vibe!
Gingerbread Cheesecake Perfection
– For an extra festive look, you can add some crushed gingerbread cookies on top of the whipped cream or even drizzle a little extra molasses for a special touch.
– Feel free to swap out the spices based on your personal preference. Add a pinch of allspice or cardamom for an interesting twist!
– If you create this cheesecake ahead of time, just make sure to cover it properly in the fridge to maintain that creamy texture.
As the holidays approach and the festivities begin, I encourage you to whip up this Gingerbread Cheesecake and share the joy it brings.
