Prepare the Crust:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, mix the crushed ginger snap cookies with melted butter until fully combined.
Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 8 minutes. Set aside to cool.
Make the Cream Cheese Layer:
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until creamy and well combined.
Pour the cream cheese mixture over the baked crust and spread evenly.
Prepare the Pumpkin Mixture Layer:
In a separate bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves. Stir until fully blended.
Spoon the pumpkin mixture over the cream cheese layer and spread gently to create a smooth layer.
