Gingerbread cheesecake on a gingerbread cookie base – notes

Gingerbread cheesecake on gingerbread cookies is a delicious and aromatic cheesecake perfect for Christmas and the carnival season.

You’ve probably baked gingerbread cookies for Christmas, and you can use them here.

The gingerbread cookies should be blended into fine crumbs, or thoroughly crushed with a rolling pin. If the cookies are brittle, you won’t have much trouble with this.

You mix these crushed cookies with melted butter and line a springform pan with them.

I prepared the gingerbread cheesecake as usual – meaning I put all the ingredients directly into the mixer bowl and blended until combined.

I didn’t separate the egg whites and yolks here, and I didn’t whip the egg whites.

What kind of cream cheese to use for gingerbread cheesecake?

As always, I recommend good, full-fat cream cheese from a tub. I most often use Piątnica.

For flavor, I added gingerbread spice (here I recommend homemade spice) and grated orange zest to the cream cheese.

I added two teaspoons of spice, and it didn’t overpower the cheesecake’s flavor. If you want, you can add one more teaspoon.

I baked the cheesecake with gingerbread spice as usual at a lower temperature, but for longer.

I always bake them in top-bottom mode at 150-160 degrees Celsius.

A lower baking temperature ensures that the cheesecake doesn’t rise too much during baking and, at the same time, doesn’t collapse after baking.

Cool the cheesecake and chill it in the refrigerator, then drizzle with chocolate glaze before serving.
