Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, mix crushed gingerbread cookies with melted butter and sugar until evenly combined. Press this into the bottom of a springform pan to create an even layer and bake for about 10 minutes until slightly golden.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with sugar until smooth and creamy, avoiding lumps.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, mixing until just incorporated. Mix in the vanilla, ginger, cinnamon, and nutmeg until evenly combined.
  5. Pour the filling over the cooled crust, smoothing the top, and bake for 45-50 minutes or until the edges are set but the center has a slight jiggle.
  6. Once baked, allow the cheesecake to cool on the counter for 1 hour before transferring it to the refrigerator. Let it chill for at least 4 hours, but overnight works best for a perfect set.
  7. Before serving, drizzle with warm caramel sauce to finish and slice.
