Katie Hason says:

I tried this gingersnap cheesecake and it was to die for! It was so incredibly easy to make in the pressure cooker, wow! If you like gingersnaps and/or cheesecake, you will go crazy for this dessert. I've made two already and plan to make another one for a party.

Laura Griffin says:

I loved this cheesecake! The gingersnap crust was perfect. I never knew it could be so easy to make cake, let alone cheesecake, in a pressure cooker.

Greg Jones says:

I love gingersnaps, so it's no surprise that this cheesecake is in my top three favorite desserts. I can only eat cheesecake a few times a year, but this is definitely one of the best flavors.

Stephanie D says:

Gingersnap cookies make the best cheesecake crust! Freezing it definitely did the trick to help keep it together. I've made cheesecake a few times before and could never figure out why it didn't turn out just right. I think the trick is to use room temperature cream cheese and eggs. Thank you!

Alexis Pearson says:

When I first purchased my pressure cooker I had no intentions of using it for desserts, but now that I've tried this recipe I'm totally hooked. I had no idea I could use my springform pans in the pressure cooker pot. The cake button is basically magic. So easy and delicious!

Janice Stephens says:

Delicious!

Sherry Beattie says:

I had some difficulty finding crystallized ginger. First store was sold out. 2nd store had large flat pieces only. I used a large grater to obtain small pieces to mix into the cream cheese mixture. I cut thin strips of the ginger to decorate the top of the finished cheesecake. I used a stainless steel push up style pan (7 X 3) that had an attached handle, thus eliminating the need for an aluminum foil sling. Finished cheesecake was very delicious! (I was a little nervous because one of my dinner guests frequents the Cheesecake Factory and would be comparing mine to theirs). He raved about this ginger snap cheesecake. Soon our little group of 3 will devour the rest of it. I will definitely make it again.
