Ingredients

  1. For the crust:
    1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
    1/4 cup sugar
    1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
    For the white chocolate mousse filling:
    8 oz white chocolate, chopped
    1 cup heavy cream
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    8 oz cream cheese, softened
    1/2 cup powdered sugar
    1/2 cup sour cream
    For the cranberry jam:
    1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries
    3/4 cup granulated sugar
    1/4 cup water
    1 teaspoon lemon juice
    For garnish (optional):
    Fresh cranberries
    Whipped cream
    Shaved white chocolate

Instructions

Prepare the crust: Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease and line the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter in a medium bowl, press into the pan, and bake for 8-10 minutes. Set aside to cool.

  1. Prepare the cranberry jam: Cook cranberries, sugar, water, and lemon juice over medium heat for 10 minutes, until cranberries burst and mixture thickens. Let cool to room temperature.
  2. Prepare the white chocolate mousse filling: Melt the white chocolate in a double boiler or microwave, then cool slightly. Whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks. Beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, and sour cream, then fold in the white chocolate and whipped cream.
  3. Assemble the cheesecake: Pour the white chocolate mousse over the cooled crust, smoothing the top. Drizzle cranberry jam on top and swirl with a knife to create a marbled effect. Refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
  4. Serve and garnish: Before serving, garnish with whipped cream, fresh cranberries, and shaved white chocolate. Slice and serve chilled.

Notes

  • Use frozen cranberries if fresh are unavailable, ensuring they are thawed and drained first.
  • Make the cheesecake ahead of time to let the flavors meld together and achieve a firmer texture.
  • Top with fresh fruit or chocolate ganache for added richness or flavor variation.
