Heavenly Cake - Cranberry Crown Cheesecake

ב''ה

This was a nice, standard cheesecake. I must admit that I left out the third cup of sour cream as I realized it was just going to be too much batter for the small pans I was using. Perhaps it would have made the cheesecake have a lighter quality to it.


I used store bought, hard, lady fingers for the sides and bottom. It really softened nicely and was a very nice and tender crust. Someone decided to poke their finger into one of them a couple times...

The cranberry mush was easy to make.

I do think I would have enjoyed this cheesecake more with another fruit topping such as strawberry or raspberry.


Nothing exceptional, just nice classic cheesecake. All in all, very pleased with this dessert. It went pretty fast!

  1. Mendy, are those 4 inch springform pan? Or did you double the recipe? That's a lot of cheesecakes!

  5. I too wanted to ask what Jenn asked..if you doubled up the recipe..so many cheesecakes? I suppose you are giving them away? Your cranberry sauce looks soo good!

    Thanks Katya! I have not had to dig out the car yet. I was hoping the warmer weather might do it for me. I may have to tonight though. Things have been so hectic here! :)
