Cranberry Orange Chocolate Cheese Cake

 Today being Christmas, I wanted to make something with Cranberries in them. I like those little red jewels, how they make everything look a bit more "Christmasi " 

The original recipe called for white chocolate chips and all I had were Orange coloured whiye chocolate chips. Hence my cheese cake turned out to be orange in color.

But this is one of the best cheese cakes I made yet!!!

Here is original cheese cake recipe


Cranberry Orange Chocolate Cheese Cake






Ingredients for crust:

  1. 12 oreo cookies scrapped out of the cream (reserve this) and pound into powder
  2. 1/4  cup melted butter

Ingredients for cheese cake:

  1. 16 oz 1 pack  or 2 packs of 8 oz cream cheese at room temperature
  2. 2 large eggs
  3. 1/3-1/2 cup white chocolate chips of your choice of color
  4. 1/3-1/2 cups dried cranberries (optional)
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Mix the ingredients of the crust and prepare a 9 inch round pan. Add the crust mix and press it onto the bottom and by the sides

For the filling, beat the cream cheese with the melted chocolate chips. If some of them do not melt completely , do not worry...they turn out to be extra fun in the cheese cake . Add the eggs one at a time and  mix again until everything is incorporated. Add cranberries if using. Add the filling to the pie pan and bake for 45-50  minutes. Let it cool and freeze for 1-2 hours before serving. Enjoy
