Ingredients:

GINGERSNAP CRUST 2 cups gingersnap cookies, finely crushed 2 tbsp granulated sugar 6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted Pinch of sea salt CHEESECAKE FILLING 5 pkgs (200g) Tre Stelle® Original Cream Cheese 1 cup granulated sugar 3 tbsp all-purpose flour 1 tbsp vanilla extract 1 cup sour cream 4 eggs CRANBERRY TOPPING 3 cups fresh or frozen cranberries 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar 1 cup water 1/4 cup orange juice 2 tbsp cornstarch 1 tbsp orange zest (optional)

Instructions:

Preheat Oven to 350ºF (175ºC). CRUST: In a medium bowl, combine crushed gingersnaps, sugar, melted butter, and salt. Using a flat sided measuring cup, press the mixture into the bottom and 1" up the sides of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake the crust for 10 minutes; remove from oven to cool while making the filling. FILLING: In a large mixing bowl, using a handheld or stand mixer beat Tre Stelle® Cream Cheese, sugar, and flour until combined. Scrape sides of bowl; add sour cream and vanilla, continue to beat until combined. Add one egg at a time, mixing at low speed just until blended. Pour filling into crust and spread evenly. Bake for 50-60 minutes - the centre of the cheesecake will have about 2-3 inches of a wobbly spot in the centre. Remove from oven; run a knife or spatula around rim of pan, cool completely and refrigerate at least 4 hours before garnishing and serving. CRANBERRY TOPPING: In a large saucepan, combine the cranberries, sugar, and water. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer for 3 minutes or just as cranberries begin to pop. In a small bowl, combine orange juice and cornstarch, stir to combine, and add to saucepan. Bring to boil again; cook and stir 2 minutes or until mixture is thickened. Remove from heat, cool, and refrigerate before topping cheesecake.
