How to Make Swirled Cranberry Cheesecake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Combine 1 ½ cups gingersnap cookie crumbs and ¼ cup melted unsalted butter. Press firmly into the bottom and 1 inch up the sides of a greased 9-inch springform pan.
- Bake for 10 minutes. Cool completely.
- In a food processor, combine 1 (14-ounce) can whole berry cranberry sauce, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground ginger, and ¼ teaspoon ground cloves. Process until smooth. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat 3 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually add 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar and 2 tablespoons cornstarch, beating until well combined.
- Add 4 large eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Pour half of the cheesecake batter into the prepared crust.
- Spoon half of the cranberry mixture over the batter. Swirl gently with a knife.
- Pour the remaining cheesecake batter over the cranberry layer.
- Spoon the remaining cranberry mixture over the top. Swirl gently with a knife.
- Bake for 15 minutes at 350°F (175°C).
- Reduce oven temperature to 225°F (107°C).
- Continue baking for 1 hour and 10 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set around the edges but the center is slightly jiggly.
- Turn off the oven. Leave the cheesecake in the oven with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour to cool slowly.
- Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
- Once completely cool, cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, before serving.
- Run a thin knife around the edges of the cheesecake to loosen it from the pan before removing the sides of the springform pan. Serve chilled and enjoy!
