    Cranberry Cheesecake With Walnut Crust


    Source of Recipe


    Internet

    List of Ingredients




    1 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
    1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts
    1/4 cup (1 stick) butter -- melted
    1 can (16 oz.) whole cranberry
    sauce
    3 package (8 oz. each) cream cheese
    softened
    3/4 cup granulated sugar
    1/4 cup flour
    3 eggs
    8 ounce dairy sour cream
    2 teaspoon vanilla extract

    Recipe



    Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a small bowl combine crumbs, walnuts and
    butter. In the bottom of a 9-inch spring-form pan firmly press crumb
    mixture. Bake until golden, 5 to 6 minutes; remove from oven; coo
    slightly. Spread with cranberry sauce; set aside. Reduce oven temperature
    to 300 degrees. In the large bowl of an electric mixer beat cream cheese,
    sugar and flour until smooth. Beat in eggs, sour cream and vanilla until
    well blended; spread evenly over cranberry sauce. Bake until a knife
    inserted 1-1/2-inches from the edge comes out clean, about 1 hour; turn
    off oven; leave cheesecake in oven with door ajar until top is firm to the
    touch, about 30 minutes. Cool on a wire rack, about 1 hour. Cover and
    refrigerate until cold, about 4 hours. Just before serving, remove
    cheesecake from pan to a serving plate. Garnish with sugared cranberries,
    kiwi slices and mint leaves, if desired.

    NOTE: To make sugared cranberries: In a small bowl place a small amount
    of white corn syrup. Add fresh cranberries, a few at a time, turning to
    coat; then place in a bowl of granulated sugar. Using a fork, remove
    cranberries from sugar and place on a plate until ready to use.
