Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Combine gingerbread cookie crumbs with melted unsalted butter in a mixing bowl. Press mixture into the bottom of a springform pan. Chill for 30 minutes.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth, about 2-3 minutes. Gradually add sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract, mixing until silky.
  3. Fold in holiday flavors: add eggnog along with cinnamon and nutmeg, or melt white chocolate and mix for a rich flavor.
  4. Pour filling over chilled gingerbread crust, smoothing the top. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  5. Release cheesecake from the pan, transfer to a platter. Top with whipped cream and decorate with cranberries or holiday spices.
