Cranbbery and birthday Cake

So, when I heard about cranberry, I always remember this funny story I had from a very young age. I wanted to have a birthday cake like my friend did when their birthday. I asked my mom to create a cake for me.

“Mom, please give me a birthday cake with happy birthday to me,” I asked my mom with fuffy eyes

“you know honey, we didn’t celebrate it. what for anyway?” with her flat expression, my mom always has a flat gimmick no matter how tough the situation is haha (she is such a great actress)

“I wanted to celebrate my birthday by eating cake with my friends, mommy” I’m begging my mom

“Alright honey, your cake will be ready tomorrow when you wake up”

I was so excited and can not wait for tomorrow to show my friend how nice and big my cake is.

you probably will think the same as me, it is a regular birthday cake a tart and some whipped cream.

the next day as my mom promised that my birthday cake is ready. I wake up earlier without my mom waking me up. I was just too excited, and guess what? a birthday cake that my mom made was a mini tart. I’m so painfully heartbroken at that time, I locked the door and cried so hard.

I thought my mother didn’t love me because she gave me a little mini tart.

turnout, I did a mistake, I’m so embarrassed to tell this story until now because I was so ridiculous at that time. turn out my grandmother, my auntie come to my home with a huge cranberry cheesecake. the cranberry was giving me the fresh sensation, and I think that was the best cranberry cheesecake ever with some note on the top of the cheesecake saying happy birthday.

Why was I mad without knowing any reason before? hahaha, that’s fine, I am still a kid back then 😀

Cranberry Cheesecake, a treat for family reunion

Cranberry Cheesecake is an ultimate treat for thanksgiving and welcoming Christmas. Besides, it is cranberry and other berries season, the smooth and mouthwatering texture feels so good and nice for the fall season. family reunion with nostalgic stories such a memorable day.

Let’s create this cranberry cheesecake! Do not worry if you live alone, you can always make it on your own and made in smaller sizes. you can always put it in the refrigerator.

Ingredients of Cranberry Cheesecake

To make this cranberry Cheesecake, we divided it into three layers. So I make the ingredients into three parts

Cheesecake Crust

• Biscoff Cookies. in my other recipe, you can substitue the biscoff cookies with Marie cookies to.
• Unsalted Butter melted

Cheesecake Filling

• Cream Cheese room temperature
• Sour Cream room temperature- This is the highlight flavor, a cheesecake without a little bit sour it is not a cheesecake
• White Granulated Sugar
• Eggs room temperature
• All-Purpose Flour
• Cornstarch
•  Vanilla Extract- for adding a flavor, a complement for dessert.

Cranberry Sauce

• Frozen Cranberry. I use the cranberry as topping, but if yiu want you can add the cranberry in the misture along with cheesecake filling. it is fine to.
• Granulated Sugar this is optional, you can add sugar or not based on your preference. For me personally, I can’t stand with the sourness from cranberry without sugar,so I added the sweeten through sugar

How to make Cranberry Cheesecake

Cheesecake Crust

Crush biscoff biscuits with a rolling pin or a food processor and combine the crumbs with melted butter.

Pour into the 10.5 inches or 26 cm springform pan. Press down the crust mixture on the bottom and the sides of the springform pan with a hand then flatten using glass and place it into the fridge.

Cheesecake Filling

Preheat oven to 325ºF or 160°C.

In a big bowl, beat cream cheese using a hand mixer or stand mixer on a medium-low speed until smooth, soft and creamy, about 2 minutes.

Add ¼ of the granulated sugar, and beat until well combined. Repeat the step to the rest of the granulated sugar.

Add the eggs one at a time at a low speed, beating after each addition until well combined.

Once the eggs have been added, scrape the side and the bottom of the bowl with a spatula.

next, add the vanilla extract. Add cornstarch and flour, beat until well combined. Be careful, do not over mix.

Add sour cream to the cheesecake mixture and beat well. Scrape the side and the bottom of the bowl with a spatula again and make sure all the ingredients are well combined.

Pour the cheesecake batter into a springform. To ensure it does not leak, wrap springform using aluminum foil.

Bake the cheesecake for 1 hour. When baking, do not open the door of the oven. The cheesecake is done when a small area in the center should be slightly jiggly and the edges should be puffed and light golden brown.

After 1 hour, turn off the oven and let the cheesecake sit in the oven for 1 hour after that let it completely cool at room temperature.

Refrigerated the cheesecake for at least 6 hours or overnight.

Cranberry Sauce

In a saucepan, heat the frozen cranberry and sugar over medium-low heat, stir until the sugar is dissolved.

Turn the heat to medium-high, mash the cranberry while stirring and bring the cranberry mixture to boil until the sauce is thickened.

Turn off the heat then transfer the sauce to a bowl and let it cool completely.

Serving

Spread the cranberry sauce on top of the cheesecake using an offset spatula.

For neat slices, wipe the knife until clean and dip into warm water for every slice.

Cranberry cheesecakes are ready to serve. Enjoy!
