Seattle Times Crust: | |
Cooking spray | |
14 Oreo cookies | |
3 tablespoons | melted butter |
margarine, alternative | |
Filling: | |
½ cup | half-and-half |
8 ounces | white chocolate, chopped |
3 (8-ounce) packages | light cream cheese, room temperature |
4 | eggs |
½ cup | sugar |
2 teaspoons | grated orange peel |
½ teaspoon | vanilla |
Topping: | |
2 cups | cranberries, rinsed and picked over |
¼ cup | orange juice |
1/3 cup | sugar |
1. To prepare the crust: Lightly spray a 9-inch springform pan with cooking spray. Wrap the outside bottom and sides of the pan with several sheets of aluminum foil. Process the cookies in a food processor or in several batches in a blender to a very fine crumb. Combine with the melted butter, stirring together with a fork. Press into the bottom of the prepared pan. Place in a preheated 325-degree oven 5 minutes. Cool slightly.
2. To prepare the filling: In a medium saucepan bring the half-and-half to a boil. Place the white chocolate in a bowl, add the half-and-half and whisk until melted and smooth.
3. Put the cream cheese, eggs, sugar, orange peel, vanilla and melted white chocolate in a food processor and process until smooth. Pour the filling into the springform pan and place in a larger baking or roasting pan. Pour boiling water into the larger pan to come halfway up the sides of the springform. Bake in a preheated 325-degree oven 50 minutes. Turn the oven off and leave the cheesecake for 30 minutes.
4. Remove from the oven and cool on a rack. Remove the sides of the pan, cover cheesecake with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
5. To prepare the topping: Combine the cranberries, orange juice and sugar in a saucepan. Place over medium-low heat, stirring until the sugar has almost melted. Turn the heat to medium-high and cook until thickened. Cool 15 minutes and spread on top of the cheesecake. Refrigerate. When the topping has completely cooled cover loosely. Remove from refrigerator 30 minutes before serving.
