Zubereitung von Festive Creamy Cheesecake With Tangy Cranberry Topping
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Position rack in the center of the oven.
- **Crust:**
- In a food processor, pulse 1 ½ cups (150g) gingerbread crackers into fine crumbs. Add 6 tablespoons (85g) melted unsalted butter and pulse until combined.
- Press crumb mixture into the bottom and 2 inches up the sides of a 9-inch springform pan.
- Bake for 10 minutes. Set aside to cool completely and reduce oven temperature to 300°F (150°C).
- **Filling:**
- In a large bowl, beat 3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, 1 cup (240ml) sour cream, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract for 5 minutes until completely smooth and creamy.
- Add 1 ½ cups (300g) granulated sugar, ½ cup (60g) packed light brown sugar, 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, and ½ of the zest of 1 large orange. Mix until combined.
- Beat in 3 large eggs one at a time, mixing until just incorporated. Do not overmix.
- Pour filling into the cooled crust.
- Place springform pan on a baking sheet to catch any spills. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is just set but still slightly jiggly.
- Turn off oven and leave the cheesecake in the oven with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour to cool slowly.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 24 hours.
- **Topping:**
- In a small saucepan, combine 1 (12 ounce) bag fresh cranberries, ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar, ¼ cup (60ml) orange juice, 1 tablespoon grated orange zest, and 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger.
- Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook for 10-15 minutes, or until cranberries have burst and the sauce has thickened slightly.
- Stir in 1 cup (140g) fresh blueberries.
- Let cool completely.
- Serve cheesecake slices topped with cranberry-blueberry compote. Garnish with sweetened whipped cream, if desired.
