This is excellent the way it is... EXCEPT the gingersnaps. I made it the first time with gingersnaps and it wasnt the best crust. The second time, I madeit with Oreos and it was PHENOMONAL!!! Definitely make it with Oreo crumbs -
Okay so this is amazing. I made these into bars because I belive that makes them more kid friendly. I also added extra white chocolate to intencify that flavor. Love these, Thank you. -
This is a really delightful cheesecake. It does not have a strong white chocolate flavor at all which personally I'm not a white chocolate fan anyway. It had a great light pumpkin pie flavor to it and a fantastic creamy texture and not to heavy. I used recipe#75979 for my crushed gingersnap crust and it was great.
