Printer Friendly
Recipe submitted by chefdude7263






Ingredients   (view qty in metric system instead)
Crust:
2 cups gingersnap cookie crumbs
1/3 cup melted butter

Filling:
12 ounce bag cranberries, picked through
3/4 cup water
1 1/3 cup plus 2 tbsp. sugar
32 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
2 tsp. vanilla extract
4 large eggs
2 cups sour cream

Directions
For Crust:
Wrap the outside of a 9 inch springform pan tightly with foil. Place gingersnap crumbs in a medium bowl. Add melted butter and stir until mixture is evenly moistened. Press the crust mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Refrigerate crust while preparing filling.

For Filling:
Combine the cranberries and water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Cook about 12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until berries pop and mixture is reduced to 1 1/4 cups. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in 1/3 cup sugar. Strain the puree, pressing on the solids, into a medium bowl. Cool puree completely.

Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Beat the cream cheese with 1 cup plus 2 tbsp. sugar in a large bowl until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition. Stir in the sour cream. Pour half of the cream cheese mixture over the prepared crust. Drop the cranberry puree by rounded tablespoonfuls over the cream cheese. Spoon the remaining cream cheese mixture over the puree and swirl with a knife. Place the cheesecake in a large roasting pan. Add enough hot water to come halfway up the sides of the springform pan. Bake cheesecake about 1 hour until set. Discard foil and transfer cheesecake to a rack. Cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate cheesecake overnight.

Rub a warm, damp towel around the outside of the springform pan. Carefully remove the pan sides. Slice cheesecake with a warm knife.

Serves 12.
