Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams graham cracker crumbs
- 75 grams unsalted butter, melted
- 680 grams cream cheese, softened
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 180 grams white chocolate, melted and slightly cooled
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 150 grams cranberry sauce (homemade or store-bought)
- 80 milliliters heavy cream
- 50 grams fresh cranberries (optional, for garnish)
- 30 grams white chocolate curls (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 160°C (325°F). Grease a 9-inch (23 cm) springform pan and line the base with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs with melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan to create an even crust. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with granulated sugar until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the melted white chocolate, blending it into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
Mix in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract and heavy cream. Beat on low speed until the batter is smooth, being careful not to overmix.
Remove the crust from the refrigerator and pour half of the cheesecake batter over the crust.
Spoon small dollops of cranberry sauce over the batter, then use a toothpick or skewer to swirl it gently. Repeat this step with the remaining batter and more cranberry sauce on top.
Place the springform pan in a larger roasting pan. Pour hot water into the roasting pan until it comes halfway up the sides of the springform pan to create a water bath.
Bake the cheesecake in the preheated oven for 70-75 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center still has a slight wobble.
Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour to prevent cracks.
Remove the cheesecake from the water bath and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow it to set completely.
Before serving, optionally garnish the cheesecake with fresh cranberries, white chocolate curls, or extra cranberry sauce.
