1 tablespoon ground ginger

Cheesecake:

2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Bake in the preheated oven until cheesecake is set, 25 to 30 minutes.
Cool cheesecake to room temperature and refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour.

Cook's Note:

You can add lemon zest for more flavor or omit the lemon altogether and make a vanilla cream cheese.
