Instructions
Prepare the crust: Process gingersnap cookies into fine crumbs. Mix in melted butter until well combined, then press into the bottom and halfway up the sides of a springform pan. Freeze for 15 minutes to set.
Make the filling: Whisk room-temperature cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add sugar, allspice, salt, and vanilla mixing until combined. In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks, then fold into the cream cheese mixture. Pour into crust, cover, and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
Prepare the topping: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine brown sugar and butter until melted and glossy. Mix in heavy cream, corn syrup, and vanilla, allowing to warm. Stir in pecans and cool to room temperature.
Assemble the dessert: Once the cheesecake has set, carefully remove from the pan. Pour the pecan topping over the cheesecake.
