Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 box white cake mix
1/2 c butter, softened
1 large egg
1/2 c finely chopped pecans
1 - 8 oz pkg creamed cheese, softened
1/4 c powdered sugar
1 large egg
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp freshly grated nutmeg
2 tsp orange zest
1 can(s) whole berry cranberry sauce

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9"x13" pan with cooking spray. Set aside.
  • 2. In mixer bowl blend together first four ingredients and mix until crumbly. Pat mixture into bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 6-8 minutes until crust is set but not browned.
  • 3. In bowl mix together creamed cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, egg and 1 teaspoon of the orange zest. Pour carefully over crust. Smooth evenly.
  • 4. In small bowl mix together cranberry sauce, nutmeg, and remaining orange zest. Spoon over creamed cheese layer in 3 rows. Draw knife thru back and forth to swirl cranberry into cheese cake layer.
  • 5. Bake for 30-40 minutes until creamed cheese mixture is set. Cool in pan and cut into 36 bars. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use fresh cranberries. Fresh cranberries have a tart and tangy flavor that pairs perfectly with the sweet cheesecake filling. If you can't find fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries, but be sure to thaw them before using.
  • Don't overmix the cheesecake batter. Overmixing the batter can cause the cheesecake to be dense and crumbly. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cheesecake in a water bath. Baking the cheesecake in a water bath helps to prevent the cheesecake from cracking. Place the cheesecake pan in a larger pan filled with hot water. The water should come up about halfway up the sides of the cheesecake pan.
  • Let the cheesecake cool completely before serving. The cheesecake needs to cool completely before serving so that it can set properly. Let the cheesecake cool for at least 4 hours, or overnight.

Conclusion:

This easy cranberry cheesecake is a delicious and festive dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The tart and tangy cranberries pair perfectly with the sweet cheesecake filling, and the graham cracker crust adds a delicious crunch. With just a few simple ingredients and steps, you can make this delicious cheesecake at home. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give this easy cranberry cheesecake a try!
