Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cake Recipes

Time 10h5m

Yield Serves 10 to 12

Number Of Ingredients 8

5 ounces graham crackers (about 8), broken into pieces
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 1/4 cups plus 2 tablespoons sugar
2 pounds cream cheese (four 8-ounce bars), room temperature
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract or paste
4 large eggs, room temperature
1 cup Classic Cranberry Sauce or store-bought cranberry sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Wrap exterior of a 9-inch springform pan (including bottom) in a double layer of foil.
  • Pulse graham crackers in a food processor until finely ground. Add butter and 2 tablespoons sugar; pulse until mixture has the texture of wet sand. Press firmly into bottom of prepared pan. Bake until set and darkened slightly, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack; let cool completely.
  • Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees. In the bowl of a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat cream cheese on medium speed until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add remaining 1 1/4 cups sugar in a slow, steady stream. Beat in salt and vanilla. Add eggs, one at a time, beating until just combined after each addition and scraping down sides of bowl as needed (do not overmix). Place springform pan in a large, shallow roasting pan. Pour filling into crust.
  • Dollop cranberry sauce, 1 teaspoon at a time, over filling; swirl sauce into filling with a skewer or toothpick.

VANILLA BEAN CHEESECAKE WITH CRANBERRY JEWEL TOPPING



Vanilla Bean Cheesecake with Cranberry Jewel Topping image

Categories     Cake     Dessert     Bake     Cream Cheese     Cranberry     Vanilla     Fall     Winter     Bon Appétit

Yield Serves 10

Number Of Ingredients 16

Crust
12 vanilla sandwich cookies (such as Vienna Fingers; 6 1/2 ounces), broken into pieces
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces, room temperature
1/4 cup sugar
Filling
2 vanilla beans, split lengthwise
1/2 cup whipping cream
1 1/2 pounds cream cheese, room temperature
1 cup sugar
Pinch of salt
4 large eggs
Topping
1 12-ounce bag fresh or frozen cranberries
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup frozen cranberry juice cocktail, thawed
1/4 cup water

Steps:

  • For Crust:
  • Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 350° F. Wrap outside of 9-inch-diameter springform pan with 2 3/4-inch-high sides with foil. Blend cookies, butter and sugar in processor until crumbs stick together. Press crumbs on bottom and halfway up sides of prepared pan. Bake crust 10 minutes. Set aside. Maintain oven temperature.
  • For Filling:
  • Using tip of small sharp knife, scrape seeds from vanilla beans into small saucepan; add beans. Add cream. Bring to simmer over medium heat. Set aside uncovered, and cool to room temperature. Discard beans.
  • Blend cheese, sugar and salt in processor until very smooth, stopping often to scrape down sides of work bowl. Add vanilla cream and blend. Add eggs; process 5 seconds. Scrape down sides of work bowl; process just until blended, about 5 seconds. Transfer filling to crust.
  • Bake cake until sides puff slightly and center is just set, about 50 minutes. Place uncovered hot cheesecake directly into refrigerator and chill thoroughly, at least 6 hours or overnight.
  • For Topping:
  • Stir all ingredients in heavy medium saucepan over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat; boil 3 minutes. Press mixture through sieve set over large bowl, pressing firmly on solids. Spoon warm topping over cold cake; spread evenly. Chill until topping is set, at least 2 hours. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and keep chilled.)

Tips:

  • Make sure the cranberries are fresh and plump. If you can't find fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries that have been thawed and drained.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the toothpick comes out with batter or crumbs attached, the cake needs to bake longer.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help prevent the frosting from melting.
  • If you don't have time to make the fluffy sauce, you can use a store-bought cranberry sauce.

Conclusion:

Cranberry Jewel Cake is a delicious and festive cake that is perfect for any occasion. The cake is moist and flavorful, and the fluffy sauce is the perfect complement. This cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
