Ingredients - Serves 8

Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed gingersnap cookies and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust.
In a separate mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, granulated sugar, molasses, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Pour the cream cheese mixture over the crust in the springform pan.
Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until the center is set and the edges are slightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the cheesecake to set.
Before serving, garnish with whipped cream and a sprinkle of ground cinnamon.
Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy!
