Going on 3 hours in the oven and it's still wiggly. 2 pounds of cream cheese must be too much! Not happy!

I subbed almonds for pecans. Forgot the ginger in the crust and pre-baked crust for about 15 mins (meant to do 10 but forgot about it). Added filing to crust and put it in at 250 degrees as directed. After 2 hrs in the over, cake still jiggled a lot. Left it in for another 45 or so minutes and it still jiggled. I then gave up and turned off the oven and left the cake in it to cool for 4 hrs. Removed cake (it no longer jiggled), heated oven to 350, and added topping to cake. Baked for 10. Tastes great and set perfectly.
