Ingredients
Scale
- 215 g fresh cranberries
- 155 g granulated sugar
- 1.5 tbsp cornstarch
- 3 tbsp water
- 302 g chocolate sandwich cookie crumbs
- 70 g salted butter, melted
- 169 g dark chocolate chips
- 0.5 tsp vanilla extract
- 120 ml heavy whipping cream
- 678 g cream cheese, room temperature
- 207 g granulated sugar
- 25 g all-purpose flour
- 230 g sour cream
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 4 large eggs, room temperature
Instructions
- Combine cranberries, 155 g sugar, cornstarch, and water in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat for 8–10 minutes until cranberries soften.
- Process the cranberry mixture until smooth, pressing through a fine mesh sieve to remove skins. Let cool.
- Preheat oven to 163°C (325°F). Line a 23-cm springform pan with parchment and grease the sides.
- Mix cookie crumbs and melted butter, pressing into the base of the pan. Bake for 10 minutes and cool.
- In a bowl, heat heavy cream to boiling and pour over dark chocolate chips and vanilla extract. Let sit, then whisk until smooth.
- Lower oven temperature to 148°C (300°F). Mix cream cheese, 207 g sugar, and flour until smooth. Add sour cream and vanilla. Beat in eggs one at a time.
- Spread one-third of the batter into the crust. Drop spoonfuls of cranberry filling and chocolate fudge, swirling with a toothpick. Repeat with remaining batter and fillings.
- Place the pan in a baking dish and add warm water halfway up the sides of the pan. Bake for 1 hour and 20 minutes.
- Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for 30 minutes. Crack the oven door open for another 30 minutes.
- Let cheesecake chill until firm, at least 5–6 hours or overnight.
- Remove from the pan, slice, and serve.
