Yes, I'm back! Behold- my culinary genius. lol This stemmed from a gingerbread house set my sister gave me for xmas 2 years ago that I just opened 2 weeks ago. The gingerbread pieces were stale so I had to figure out some way to use them. Read more I took a mortar and pestle and ground them up for this scrumptious cheesecake. You don't have to do this, I just have a lot of patience and time. They sell gingerbread crumbs at the supermarket. This comes out looking so good, you'll be tempted to eat it warm... but trust me, it's way better cold. See less
Ingredients
- You'll need a Springform Pan and a tight mesh strainer if you don't have an electric mixer. shopping list
- 2 8oz Pkgs softened cream cheese shopping list
- 1 16oz Pkg sour cream shopping list
- 5 eggs shopping list
- 1 cup Granulated sugar shopping list
- 2 Tbspns all-purpose flour shopping list
- 4 Tbspns lemon juice shopping list
- 1 Tbspn vanilla extract shopping list
- 1 Can or Jar of cherry pie filling shopping list
- For crust, 2 - 2 1/2 cups Gingerbread Crumbs shopping list
- 1 - 1 1/2 sticks of unsalted butter shopping list
How to make it
- In a large mixing bowl, mix the cream cheese, sour cream, lemon juice, sugar, eggs, flour and vanilla, beating until smooth.
- Oh yeah, and sometime in there, preheat the oven to 375F.
- Using a smaller mixing bowl, combine the gingerbread crumbs with enough butter to make a sticky, crumbly consistancy.
- Transfer to the bottom of Springform pan, making sure not to make the crust too thick like I did. (oops) Go up the sides if you have to.
- If you don't have an electric mixer, I'm afraid the mixture will be lumpy and gross. Put it through a tight mesh strainer into the pan on top of the crust. If you have an electric mixer, well, good for you. /=P
- Bake for about an hour, or until toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
- Remove from oven, let cool a bit before taking it out of the pan. (I learned this the hard way!)
- If the sides are burnt, cut them off. When cooled enough, top with cherry filling, letting the syrup drip down the sides. Yummy!
- Bring to your friend's house and impress the crap out of them wit yo mad dope skillz.
I have too much time on my hands.
