Directions

1. Heat the oven to 350 degrees F.

2. Toss the gingersnaps & sugar together in a medium bowl. Stir in the butter & pat the mixture onto the bottom & halfway up the side of a 9-inch springform pan. Chill the crust in the fridge.

3. While the crust is chilling, grab a large bowl & using an electric mixer on low, beat together goat cheese & sugar. Add in cream cheese & beat for 1 minute. Add remaining ingredients & 1/4 teaspoon salt; beat until mixture is very smooth, about 20 more minutes.

4. Transfer batter to prepared pan. Bake on a rack positioned in middle of oven until set, about 60 to 75 mins. The cheesecake is done when it’s mostly firm but still jiggles in the middle.

5. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Cover with plastic wrap & refrigerate until completely set, 4-5 hours or up to 3 days. Serve with whipped cream, drizzle with carmel sauce, top with chocolate shavings or any combination of the three!
