How to Make Mini Cranberry Cheesecake

Use cupcake liners to line a cupcake pan.

Add 2 packages of crackers to a food processor and grind them into fine crumbs.

Add crumbs into a bowl and add sugar and melted butter, and combine.

Use a tablespoon and scoop up crust into the liners and use a flat bottom object to press it into the pan.

Place it aside

Topping

Add the sugar, cornstarch, and salt into a small bowl and combine.

Add the cream cheese into a large mixing bowl and use a hand mixer to beat until smooth and fluffy.

Pour in the sugar mixture and mix.

Add in the sour cream and vanilla and mix until fully incorporated.

One at a time, add in your eggs and mix after each addition.

Add in the melted chocolate and fold into the mixture until combined.

Add about 2-1/2 tbsp of batter into the crusts in the prepared pan.

Press a few fresh cranberries into the tops of the cheesecakes.

Put into the oven and for 25-27 minutes, bake in the oven. Bake for the full time or until the middle is set.

Take out and let it rest for 30 minutes to cool on the counter. Then, place into the fridge overnight.

Use fresh whipped cream, chocolate shavings, and fresh cranberries to add to the top of your dessert!

Serve and enjoy!

Is White Chocolate real Chocolate?

White chocolate is not really chocolate. You can’t get it from cocoa beans and make it pure chocolate. It is a mixture of cocoa butter, sugar, and milk. It still tastes amazing for this Cranberry Cheesecake.

Do I Use Fresh Cranberries for This Cheesecake?

Fresh is always best! When making this Chocolate Cranberry Cheesecake, you will need fresh cranberries. It may be possible to use dried cranberries, but fresh cranberries will taste the best.
