EASY NO-BAKE CRANBERRY CHEESECAKE RECIPE

Steps:

• Combine the sugar and cornstarch in a small saucepan. Mix well. Add ½ cup plus two tablespoons of cold water and the cranberries and place the pan over medium heat. Stir to combine.

• Press the graham cracker mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a nine-inch springform pan. Place the pan in the refrigerator to chill while you make the cheesecake filling.
• Add the cream cheese to a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer for a few minutes or until it is smooth, light, and fluffy. Add the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and lemon juice and beat until the mixture is smooth with no lumps.
• To assemble, pour the cream cheese mixture into the pie crust. Smooth out with an offset spatula. Top with the cranberry mixture and spread the topping out evenly.
• Cover and refrigerate the cheesecake for at least four hours to give the filling time to firm up. Before serving, unhinge the clasp on the springform pan and carefully lift off the sides.
