This was really good! I love ginger snap cookies and I love cheesecake, so it's a perfect combination. I like that it's not very sweet, too. And it's so fluffly and moist.... Yeah, we'll definitely be having this again! **update 3 days later: You know, I have to change this to a 5-star rating. After a day or two in the fridge, this stuff is irresistable!!!!
