This Sparkling Cranberry Cheesecake looks fancy AF but is SO easy to make.
Ingredients
- FOR THE CHEESECAKE
- Cooking spray, for pan
- 3 8-oz. bars cream cheese, softened
- 1 c. sugar
- 3 large eggs
- ¼ c. sour cream
- Zest of 1 large orange
- 2 tbsp. all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
- ½ tsp. kosher salt
- FOR THE CRUST
- 1 sleeve graham crackers, finely crushed
- 5 tbsp. melted butter
- ¼ c. brown sugar
- ½ tsp. cinnamon
- pinch of kosher salt
- FOR THE CRANBERRIES
- ½ c. water
- 2 tbsp. orange juice
- 1½ c. sugar, divided
- 1 c. fresh cranberries
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325º and grease an 8" or 9" springform pan with cooking spray. Make cheesecake filling: In a large bowl using a hand mixer, beat cream cheese and sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, then sour cream, orange zest, flour, vanilla, and salt.
- Make crust: In a large bowl, mix together graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt. Press mixture into prepared pan.
- Pour filling over crust. Wrap bottom of pan in aluminum foil and place on a baking sheet. (If you want to bake the cheesecake in a water bath, wrap bottom of pan and place in a deep baking pan. Pour in enough boiling water to come up halfway in the baking pan.) Bake until center of cheesecake only slightly jiggles, about 1 hour 30 minutes. Turn off heat, prop open oven door, and let cheesecake cool in oven, 1 hour, then remove aluminum foil and refrigerate cheesecake in pan until firm, at least 5 hours and up to overnight.
- Meanwhile, make the sugared cranberries: In a medium sauce pot over medium heat, combine water, orange juice, and ½ cup sugar. Stir until sugar is dissolved, 3-4 minutes. Add in cranberries and toss until fully coated. Transfer onto parchment paper and let cool, about 15 minutes. When cool, toss in remaining sugar and top cheesecake. Serve.
