Cranberry topping (optional)

Instructions

  • Back the Graham Cracker Crust for 5-7 minutes on 350 F, then remove and let it cool.

  • Now add in 2/3 cup sour cream, and 1 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract, and mix.
  • Sprinkle in the white chocolate chips, then fold in.
  • Set the cream cheese mixture to the side, and grab a medium sized bowl.
  • In the medium sized bowl, add in 14 oz of cranberry sauce, and 2 tbsp of granulated sugar. Mix well.
  • Pour the cream cheese mixture into the graham cracker crust.
  • Next Spoon out the cranberry sauce mixture into the cheesecake, then make swirls using a knife or other kitchen utensil.
  • Bake the cheesecake on 350 F for 30-35 minutes.
  • When you remove the cheesecake from the oven, the outer part will be firm, but the middle will still be a bit jiggly!
  • Let the Cheesecake cool, until it's at room temperature, then cover it, and place it in the refrigerator for a minimum of 4 hours.
  • If you want a topping for your cheesecake  mix 14 oz canned WHOLE berry Cranberry sauce and 3 tbsp of granulated sugar in a bowl, and spoon it all over the cheesecake slice.
  • Serve and ENJOY!
