Swirled Cranberry Lemon Cheesecake image

I won a prize in a local dairy recipe contest with this recipe, which I clipped from a magazine years ago. It's pretty, unusual and tastes great! The lemon flavor really comes out when you use freshly-squeezed lemon juice and fresh zest.

Time 2h30m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons butter, melted
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
2 lbs cream cheese, at room temperature
1 cup sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 eggs
1 cup sour cream
1 cup jellied cranberry sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Butter a 9-inch springform pan and wrap outside in two layers of aluminum foil.In small bowl, toss melted butter with crumbs. Press onto bottom of prepared pan.
  • Put cream cheese and sugar in food processor and whir until very smooth. Add all remaining ingredients except cranberry sauce. Process just until smooth. Reserve 1/4 cup of the cream cheese mixture, and pour the rest over the crust.
  • In small bowl or in food processor, combine the cranberry sauce and reserved cream cheese mixture. Mix until blended. Pour this mixture onto the top of the cheesecake in a spiral pattern. Using a chopstick or skewer, draw small circles along the cranberry spiral to form a swirl pattern.
  • Place springform pan in a larger pan. Fill halfway with warm water to form a water bath. Bake 1 3/4 to 2 hours, until toothpick inserted in center comes out only slightly moist. Turn off heat and let cake cool in oven with door ajar for 1 hour. Remove cake and let cool completely.
  • Cover and refrigerate overnight.

This cheesecake was a little too dense for my taste. I think I would have preferred a lighter and fluffier cheesecake.

This cheesecake was easy to make and turned out great! I used a store-bought crust and it still tasted amazing. I will definitely be making this again.

This cheesecake was a little too tart for my taste, but my husband loved it. I think next time I will use less lemon juice.
