Savor the flavors of a festive xmas cheesecake featuring cranberry bliss perfect for holiday gatherings and dessert lovers alike 150 chars
1 ½ cups of graham cracker crumbs
½ cup of unsalted butter, melted
¼ cup of granulated sugar
4 (8-ounce) packages of cream cheese, softened
1 cup of granulated sugar
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
4 large eggs
1 cup of sour cream
1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour
2 cups of fresh cranberries (or frozen, thawed)
1 cup of granulated sugar for topping
1 cup of water for topping
1 teaspoon of cinnamon (optional, for topping)
Prep your springform pan by preheating the oven to 325°F (160°C) and greasing the pan.
Make the crust by mixing graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until combined. Press into the pan.
Bake the crust for about 8-10 minutes until lightly golden and let it cool.
Make the cheesecake filling by beating the cream cheese until creamy, then gradually adding sugar and vanilla.
Add the eggs one by one while mixing on low speed to avoid overmixing.
Gently fold in sour cream and flour until blended. Pour over cooled crust.
Bake the cheesecake for 55-60 minutes until the edges are set and the center is slightly wobbly.
Cool the cheesecake in the oven for an hour, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours.
Prepare the cranberry topping by combining cranberries, sugar, water, and cinnamon in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 10 minutes.
Once cooled, pour the cranberry topping over the chilled cheesecake, let it meld in the fridge for an hour, and then serve.
Notes
