Press the gingerbread mixture into the bottom of a springform pan (24cm in diameter if you want a lower cheesecake and 16cm in diameter for a taller one) lined with cake plastic around the edge if you have it. It makes it easier to remove the cake when taken out of the freezer. It can also be done without.
3. Place in the fridge while you make the cheesecake filling.
