Description

A delightful no-bake cheesecake with a smooth cream cheese filling enhanced by sweet white chocolate and tart cranberry topping.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 14 graham cracker sheets
  • 8 tbsp butter, melted
  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 1/4 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 cup white chocolate, melted
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream, whipped
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 12 oz fresh cranberries
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 1 1/4 cups sugar
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1/4 tsp almond extract
  • 1 cup sugar (plus more for rolling)
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Graham Cracker Crust: Pulse graham crackers and melted butter in a food processor until fine crumbs form. Press the crumbs firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Freeze for at least 20 minutes.
  2. Make the White Chocolate Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and powdered sugar until light and fluffy (about 4 minutes). Melt the white chocolate carefully. Stir melted chocolate and vanilla into the cream cheese mixture. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture. Pour the filling into the crust, cover it, and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
  3. Make Cranberry Jam: Combine cranberries, water, sugar, and cornstarch in a pot over medium heat. Simmer for 8-10 minutes until the cranberries soften. Remove from heat, add almond extract, and refrigerate.
  4. Make Sugared Cranberries: Rinse cranberries, then heat sugar and water until the sugar dissolves. Add cranberries and simmer for 1-2 minutes. Transfer to cool and roll in sugar.
  5. Whip Cream for Topping: Whip heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
  6. Assemble the Cheesecake: Spread cranberry jam over the cheesecake filling, add whipped cream, and decorate with sugared cranberries and extra whipped cream as desired.

Notes

Use room temperature cream cheese for easier mixing. Let the cheesecake chill overnight for the best texture.
