How to Make Marsala Cheese Tart With Oranges

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Crush gingersnap cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor. Alternatively, place cookies in a zip-top bag and crush with a rolling pin.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine the gingersnap crumbs and melted butter. Mix until thoroughly moistened.
  4. Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of an 8-inch tart pan with a removable bottom.
  5. Place the tart shell in the freezer for 15 minutes to chill.
  6. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar together using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
  7. Add the Marsala wine and vanilla extract. Beat until well combined.
  8. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  9. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until just combined.
  10. Pour the cream cheese filling into the chilled tart shell.
  11. Freeze for at least 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until firm.
  12. Before serving, garnish with the reserved orange segments.
  13. Carefully remove the tart from the pan and slice into wedges.
  14. Serve chilled and enjoy!
