Directions
Preheat the oven to 375℉ (190℃).
Grease a 9-inch springform pan or spray with nonstick spray.
To make the crust, place the graham crackers, butter, brown sugar, and ginger in the bowl of a food processor and process until well combined.
Press into the bottom of the springform pan. Place the pan in the oven and bake 5 to 8 minutes.
Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
To make the filling, place the ricotta, eggs, egg white, buttermilk, sugar, vanilla, orange peel, and juice in the bowl of a food processor or electric mixer and process or mix until smooth.
Pour the mixture into the cooled crust, put on a baking sheet, place in the oven, and place a pan of water in the bottom of the oven.
Bake 45 to 60 minutes, or until set.
