Yield Makes one 8-inch tart

Number Of Ingredients 8

5 ounces gingersnaps, broken into pieces
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons Marsala
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup heavy cream
3 navel oranges

Steps:

  • Place gingersnaps in the bowl of a food processor, and process until finely ground. Transfer to a bowl, add melted butter, and stir until well combined. Transfer to an 8-inch fluted tart pan with a removable bottom, and press into bottom and up sides to form an even crust. Place in freezer.
  • Place cream cheese and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment; beat until fluffy. Add Marsala and vanilla extract, and beat until combined. Whip heavy cream to stiff peaks, and fold into cream-cheese mixture. Spoon mixture into prepared crust; return to freezer at least 1 hour 15 minutes or until firm.
  • Cut ends off oranges, and remove peel, pith, and outer membranes following the curve of the fruit with a paring knife. Lift sections away from inner membranes; reserve sections. Serve cheesecake garnished with orange sections.
