Description

This creamy and festive Valentine’s Cranberry Cheesecake is a sweet, indulgent treat, perfect for the holiday! With a graham cracker crust, cranberry filling, and whipped cream topping, it’s the ideal dessert to celebrate love.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

For the Cranberry Cheesecake Filling:

  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup cranberry sauce (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pink food coloring (optional, for a festive touch)
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream

Toppings:

  • Fresh cranberries
  • Fresh rosemary

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: In a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the cheesecake filling.
  2. Make the Cranberry Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the cranberry sauce, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar. Blend until smooth and creamy. If you’d like a pink color, add a few drops of pink food coloring and mix until you reach your desired shade.
  3. Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cranberry cheesecake mixture until well combined.
  4. Assemble the Cheesecake: Pour the cranberry cheesecake filling over the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
  5. Decorate: Before serving, garnish the cheesecake with fresh cranberries and sprigs of fresh rosemary for a festive touch.

Notes

Chill the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, but overnight is best for a firmer set. This dessert can be made ahead of time for convenience.
