This creamy Cheesecake starts off with a cracker and gingersnap base embedded with ginger crystals. Then a creamy cheesy batter is lightened with sour cream and eggs and enhanced with lemon rind, lemon juice and ginger juice. It's baked in the Instant Pot, cooled overnight and then served with a dollop of sour cream, black berries, berry coulis and some more crystallized ginger.
