How to Make Brandied Cranberry Sour Cream Cheesecake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch springform pan.
  2. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add sugar, beating until well combined.
  3. Beat in sour cream, eggs one at a time, and vanilla extract. Stir in brandy.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine cranberries, sugar, and cornstarch. Cook over medium heat until cranberries burst and mixture thickens slightly. Stir in Grand Marnier or orange liqueur.
  5. Gently fold about 1/3 of the cranberry mixture into the cheesecake batter. Pour the remaining batter into the prepared pan.
  6. Swirl the remaining cranberry mixture on top of the batter with a knife or toothpick.
  7. Bake for 70-75 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set around the edges but still slightly jiggly in the center. Let cool completely in the oven with the door slightly ajar.
  8. Once cool, refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, before serving.
