GINGERBREAD CHEESECAKE
Top this cake with both Honey-Gingerbread and Molasses-Gingerbread Cookies. See Shaped Gingerbread Cookies for how to make the gingerbread men. Because you will use the molasses-gingerbread dough for the crust, you can make all the cookies from the same dough.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Wrap exterior of a 9-inch springform pan in 2 layers of foil.
- On a generously floured piece of parchment, roll dough to a 13-by-10-inch rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick. Brush off excess flour. Slide dough and parchment onto a baking sheet. Bake until firm and golden brown, about 14 minutes. Let cool completely on sheet on a wire rack. Break into large pieces, then pulse in a food processor until finely ground.
- Combine butter, 1/4 cup sugar, and 2 cups cookie crumbs in a bowl. Press mixture firmly and evenly into bottom and one-third of the way up sides of prepared pan. Bake until set, about 10 minutes. Let cool on rack.
- Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees. Beat cream cheese with a mixer on medium speed until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in remaining 1 1/2 cups sugar and the vanilla, scraping down sides of bowl as needed. Reduce speed to low. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition and scraping sides of bowl as needed. Beat in molasses, salt, spices, and lemon zest. Pour filling into cooled crust.
- Place cheesecake in a large, shallow roasting pan. Transfer to oven, and carefully add enough hot water to roasting pan to come about halfway up sides of springform pan. Bake until cheesecake is set but still slightly wobbly in center, 60 to 65 minutes. Carefully remove springform pan from roasting pan, and let cool on a wire rack. Refrigerate, uncovered, for at least 8 hours (preferably overnight).
- Before serving, run a hot knife around edges of cheesecake to loosen, and remove sides of pan. Arrange gingerbread cookies in center of cake in a circle (with heads facing inward and arms touching, alternating light and dark).

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan. Wrap the outside of the springform pan 3 to 4 times with aluminum foil.
- Mix cookie crumbs and melted butter together until mixture resembles wet sand. Press into the prepared springform pan until bottom is evenly covered.
- Combine cream cheese and brown sugar in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Add molasses, lemon juice, vanilla extract, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, allspice, and salt; mix until well combined. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating briefly after each addition until just combined. Pour batter over the crust in the pan. Tap the pan on the counter several times to remove any air bubbles.
- Place the springform pan into a larger baking pan, and fill the baking pan with 1 inch hot water, making sure no water gets into the cheesecake batter.
- Bake in the water bath in the preheated oven until the edges of the cheesecake are set and the middle jiggles slightly, about 1 hour. Turn off the oven without removing the cheesecake, leaving it inside until cooled, 1 to 2 hours.
- Remove from the oven and water bath. Run the tip of a table knife around the edges of the springform pan before removing to a serving platter. Refrigerate until completely chilled, at least 4 hours.
- Combine whipping cream, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt for the cinnamon whipped cream in a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form; do not overmix.
- Top cheesecake with whipped cream just before serving.

GINGERBREAD CHEESECAKE
The warm, spicy flavors of gingerbread are a natural match for cheesecake. I mean, who doesn't love a slice of gingerbread cake slathered with cream cheese frosting? This dessert is certainly rich, but it is also packed with lots of spices, including a hefty sprinkle of both ground and fresh ginger, classic cinnamon, allspice that lends a slightly peppery note, and a bit of fresh lemon zest to brighten things up. It can be a little tricky to get the batter completely smooth, so make sure all the ingredients are at room temperature before you start mixing, and take care to bake the cheesecake gently to avoid cracks. The cranberry topping here is optional but it is festive and delicious, and a great little cover-up if the cheesecake does happen to crack. Alternatively, this is great with a bit of lightly sweetened whipped cream or crème fraîche. Slice cheesecake with a clean, hot knife for the tidiest servings.

Steps:
- Bring the cream cheese, sour cream and eggs to room temperature.
- Heat oven to 325 degrees. Wrap the bottom and exterior sides of a 9-inch springform pan with a layer of aluminum foil; make sure to wrap to the top of the sides since the pan will be submerged halfway in a water bath while baking.
- Prepare the crust: Stir the gingersnap crumbs, brown sugar, ground ginger and a pinch of salt together in a medium bowl. Add the melted butter and stir until well combined. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake the crust until golden brown and fragrant, 9 to 11 minutes. Set aside while you prepare the filling. Set a kettle or medium pot of water to boil.
- Prepare the filling: Add the cream cheese to the bowl of a stand mixer and mix on medium-high, scraping down the sides of the bowl occasionally until very smooth and fluffy, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the brown sugar and spices and mix until well combined and completely smooth, about 2 more minutes. Scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl, then add the eggs a little bit at a time, mixing each bit completely into the mixture before adding the next. Add the sour cream, molasses, rum, fresh ginger, lemon zest and mix until just combined.
- Use a rubber spatula to scrape down the bottom and sides of the bowl and mix the last few strokes by hand. Make sure the mixture is totally, completely smooth, then pour it into the prepared crust. The mixture will fill the pan almost all of the way to the top. Firmly tap the pan on a countertop to release any air bubbles.
- Set a roasting pan on the center rack of the oven and place the cheesecake in the pan. Fill the pan with boiling water about halfway. Bake the cheesecake for one hour, without opening the door. After one hour check for doneness by gently tapping the side of the pan. The cheesecake should look set at the edges but still a bit wiggly, and will be light golden brown on top. If it is not finished baking, check it every 5 to 10 minutes or so until done.
- When the cheesecake is finished baking, turn off the oven, prop the oven door open a crack (a wooden spoon works great for this), and let the cheesecake cool in the oven until it is close to room temperature, about an hour.
- Remove the cheesecake from the oven, remove the foil from the outside of the pan, and transfer to the refrigerator to cool completely, at least 4 hours and up to 2 days. After it has completely cooled, loosely cover the pan with plastic wrap. To slice: run a hot thin knife around the edge of the pan before removing the ring.
- While the cheesecake cools make the cranberries: Add the cranberries, orange juice, ¼ cup/60 milliliters water, rum, and sugar to a saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally until the cranberries burst and the mixture is slightly thickened, about 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in the chopped crystallized ginger. Serve at room temperature or chilled.
