Ingredients

Servings

• 10 ounce Gingersnap cookies
• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 2 package Cream cheese
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 3 large Eggs
• ¹⁄₂ cup Sour cream
• ¹⁄₄ cup All-purpose flour
• ¹⁄₄ cup Heavy cream
• ¹⁄₂ cup Whipped cream
• ¹⁄₄ cup Crushed gingersnap cookies

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Crush the gingersnap cookies and mix with melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a greased 9-inch springform pan.
2. In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in sour cream and flour.
3. Pour the cream cheese mixture over the crust in the springform pan. Smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until the center is set.
4. Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Run a knife around the edges to loosen the cheesecake, then remove the sides of the springform pan.
5. Let the cheesecake cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
6. Before serving, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Spread the whipped cream over the chilled cheesecake and sprinkle with crushed gingersnap cookies.
7. Slice and serve chilled.
