    List of Ingredients




    Gingersnap Cherry Cheesecake



    * 3 cups ground gingersnap cookies
    * 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
    * 3 8-ounce bars cream cheese, at room temperature
    * 1 1/4 cups sugar
    * 2 large eggs
    * 2 cups sour cream
    * 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
    * 1/2 cup cherry preserves

    Recipe






    1. Heat oven to 350° F. In a medium bowl, combine the ground gingersnaps and butter. Using a straight-sided dry measuring cup, press the mixture into the bottom and 2 inches up the side of a 9-inch springform pan.

    2. Using an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese and 1 cup of the sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs, one at a time. Beat in ½ cup of the sour cream and 1 teaspoon of the vanilla.

    3. Pour the mixture into the crust and bake until just set, 40 to 45 minutes.

    4. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the remaining 1 ½ cups of sour cream, ¼ cup of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla. Spread over the hot cheesecake and bake until set, 3 to 5 minutes more. Let cool in the pan, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours. Run a knife around the edge of the cheesecake before unmolding.

    5. Spread the preserves over the cheesecake before serving.
