Ingredients You'll Need
Graham Cracker Crust
The first step in making this Christmas cranberry cheesecake is creating the crust. You will need graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar for this. The buttery and crunchy crust perfectly complements the creamy and tangy filling of the cheesecake.
Cranberry Swirl
To add a festive touch and a burst of flavor to the cheesecake, we will create a cranberry swirl. You will need fresh cranberries, water, sugar, and cornstarch for this. The cranberry swirl not only adds a pop of color but also balances the sweetness of the cheesecake.
Cheesecake Filling
The star of the show is, of course, the creamy cheesecake filling. For this, you will need cream cheese, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and sour cream. Make sure to use room temperature cream cheese to avoid lumps in the filling.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Creating the Graham Cracker Crust
First, you will need to preheat your oven to 350°F. Then, mix together graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar in a bowl. Press this mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan and bake for 10 minutes. Let it cool while you prepare the filling.
Preparing the Cranberry Swirl
In a saucepan, combine fresh cranberries, water, sugar, and cornstarch. Cook over medium heat until the cranberries burst and the mixture thickens. Let it cool before swirling it into the cheesecake filling.
Making the Cheesecake Filling
In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add in eggs, vanilla extract, and sour cream and mix until well combined. Pour the filling into the cooled graham cracker crust.
Adding the Cranberry Swirl
Using a spoon, drop the cranberry swirl on top of the cheesecake filling. Use a toothpick or a knife to create a marble effect by gently swirling the cranberry mixture into the filling.
Baking and Cooling
Place the cheesecake in the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake in there for 1 hour with the door slightly open. This will prevent the cheesecake from cracking. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.
Final Thoughts
This Christmas cranberry cheesecake is a delicious and festive dessert that is perfect for the holiday season. The tangy cranberry swirl adds a burst of flavor to the creamy and rich cheesecake, making it a crowd-pleaser. So, why not give this recipe a try and impress your friends and family with your baking skills this Christmas?
