9 Reviews of Swirled Cranberry Cheesecake

This is an excellent cheesecake. I didn't have access to the Pepperidge Farm Cookies and subbed a combo of half graham cracker crumbs and half crushed gingersnaps. The flavor was excellent. The cinnamon and nutmeg enhance the flavor of the cranberries and make a perfect fall cheesecake. This was an excellent addition to our Thanksgiving menu.

    This is an AMAZING recipe. It's seasonal, delicious and EASY! Everyone had seconds (which made us happy, but horribly full!) I only had a 10" springform available, but even with no changes AT ALL in the recipe, it came out perfectly. A real winner!

    Delish! Made this with Oreo crumb crust rather than the other cookies, and it was a hit! I might also be serving the cranberry swirl by itself with the Thanksgiving turkey. The spice is just right with the cranberries. Oh and baked at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes w/o getting any cracks.

    Yummy! Very easy to make and no cracks in the cheesecake. I used cinnamon graham crackers instead of the cookies. I''m going to make this for Thanksgiving.

    I made this to bring to our Thanksgiving celebration, and even my chocoholic family gave it raves. I've never had good results baking cheesecake, but this was beautiful and delicious. I made the recipe exactly as written. The cheesecake was creamy and not too heavy, and the cranberry mixture was just sweet enough. The adition of the cinnamon and cloves was a tasty touch. I garnished the top with fresh mint leaves and sugar-glazed fresh cranberries for a festive presentation. Thanks for a wonderful recipe.

    Delicious! I brought this to my relatives for Xmas eve dinner and it was a hit. The hint of clove and cinnamon was a perfect tasting blend of flavor that went along well with the cheesecake and cranberry. It was also my first time making a cheesecake; very easy recipe to follow. I used a 10 inch spring form pan and also used graham cracker crumbs instead of the cookies.

    This is one terrific cheesecake. The only changes I made were to use sugar cookies for the crust, and to reduce the cinnamon to 1tsp and I'll do that again next time. I recommend serving straight from the frig as the cookie crust softened very quickly.

    Divine! I'd never made cheesecake before, and this was great! I just used a pie plate as I have no springform pan, and it was wonderful. Thanks!

    I made this last Thanksgiving and everyone was impressed. It's a solid recipe. I substituted cinnamon graham crackers, and they worked fine. I'm sure the Pepperidge Farm cookies would be great. Very festive!
