step 1
To make the base, melt the butter (100 g) in the microwave or in a small pan on the hob.
step 2
Crush the ginger cookies (200 g) and ginger snaps (100 g) to a fine crumb with a rolling pin and a sealable bag, or blitz them in a food processor. Combine with the melted butter and press the mixture into the base of a 20cm springform cake tin.
step 3
To make the filling, grab a large bowl and whisk the icing sugar (75 g) with the full fat (250 g), reduced fat soft cheese (500 g) and double cream (150 ml). Add the gingerbread syrup (2 tbsp), vanilla extract (1 tsp), ground ginger (1 tsp) and ground cinnamon (1/2 tsp) and mix again.
step 4
The overall texture of your cheesecake topping should be a thick mousse.
step 5
Carefully spread the mixture over the biscuit base, cover it with foil or cling film and chill in the fridge for a few hours, preferably overnight.
step 6
To make the decoration, carefully remove the cheesecake from the tin and place on a serving plate.
step 7
Sprinkle over some crushed biscuit crumbs and decorate with M&S mini gingerbread biscuits (to taste) and M&S snowy pretzels (to taste).
