Prep time: 30 minutes
Cook time: 50 minutes
Serves: 12

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

24 oz cream cheese, softened

1 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup sour cream

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

1 tbsp ground ginger

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1/2 tsp ground nutmeg

1/4 tsp ground cloves

4 large eggs

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).

2. In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter until well combined. Press mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.

3. In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add brown sugar and mix until combined.

4. Add sour cream, flour, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves to the cream cheese mixture and blend until smooth.

5. Incorporate eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract and salt.

6. Pour cheesecake batter over the prepared crust in the springform pan.

7. Place the pan in a larger baking dish and fill the dish with hot water halfway up the sides of the springform pan to create a water bath.

8. Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly jiggly.

9. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour.

10. Remove from oven, cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.

Storage

Store the cheesecake refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

Reheating

To reheat, allow slices to sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before serving.
