How to Make Cherry Swirled Cheesecake

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. Spray an 8-inch springform pan with cooking spray.
  3. Crush 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs and sprinkle evenly on the bottom of the prepared pan.
  4. In a blender or food processor, puree one (14.5 oz) can cherry pie filling until completely smooth.
  5. Add the zest of one orange and set aside.
  6. In a large mixing bowl, beat 3 (8 ounce) packages of cream cheese until light and fluffy.
  7. Gradually beat in one (14 ounce) can of low-fat sweetened condensed milk until smooth and creamy.
  8. Add 4 large egg whites, 2 large eggs, 2 tablespoons bottled lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  9. Mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  10. Stir in ¼ cup all-purpose flour until just combined.
  11. Pour half of the cheesecake batter into the prepared pan.
  12. Evenly spoon ½ cup of the cherry puree over the batter.
  13. Top with the remaining cheesecake batter.
  14. Drop spoonfuls (about ½ cup) of the remaining cherry puree over the batter.
  15. Gently swirl the cherry puree into the batter using a knife or spatula.
  16. Reserve any remaining cherry puree for serving.
  17. Bake for 60-65 minutes, or until the center is just set. The edges should be set, but the center may still have a slight jiggle.
  18. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour.
  19. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
  20. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, before serving.
