Time 5h55m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 11

½ cup butter, softened
⅓ cup packed brown sugar
½ cup chopped walnuts
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
½ cup white sugar
1 cup dried cranberries
6 tablespoons orange juice
2 eggs, beaten
1 tablespoon grated orange zest
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Combine butter and brown sugar in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Stir in flour and walnuts until crumbly. Press mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch square baking dish.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, about 15 minutes. Remove and allow to cool.
  • Meanwhile, combine cream cheese and white sugar in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Add cranberries, orange juice, eggs, orange zest, and vanilla extract, mix until well combined. Spread cream cheese filling onto cooled crust.
  • Bake until surface of cheesecake is firm except for a small spot in the center that will jiggle when the pan is gently shaken, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack, and allow the cheesecake to cool at room temperature, about 1 hour. Refrigerate until completely chilled, 4 hours to overnight.
  • Cut into 12 bars and serve.
