This cheesecake is so good! It is creamy and smooth, with just the right amount of sweetness. The cranberry swirl adds a nice tartness that balances out the sweetness of the cheesecake. I highly recommend this recipe.

The white chocolate and cranberry flavors go together perfectly in this cheesecake. The crust is also very good. I used a store-bought graham cracker crust, but I think it would be even better with a homemade one.
