Cheesecake With Cranberries
- 226 grams cranberries fresh or frozen
- 3/4 cup water
- 1 dash allspice
- 1 dash cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon orange extract
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 250 grams cookies McVitie's Wholewheat Digestive, crumbled
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup butter melted
- 450 grams cream cheese softened
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 eggs lightly beaten
- In a medium saucepan, bring cranberries and water to a boil. Boil until the skin of the berries pops open, about 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat and add allspice, cloves, orange extract, and sugar. Mix until thoroughly combined. Cool in refrigerator.
- For the crust, combine digestive cookies crumbs, sugar, and butter in a small bowl. Press into the bottom of a greased 9-inch spring form pan; set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth.
- Add sour cream and cornstarch, beating well.
- Add eggs, and beat on low speed just until combined.
- Drain the cranberry sauce, reserve the cranberries. Fold one cup of cranberry sauce into the mixture. Pour into crust, sprinkle with the remaining sauce.
- Bake the cake at 160 C for 30-35 minutes or until the center is almost set. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Carefully run a knife around the edge of the pan to loosen; cool one hour longer. Refrigerate overnight.
- Before serving, if you wish, top the cake with cranberries from the sauce.
