Creamy Cranberry Cheesecake

Creamy Cranberry Cheesecake
This creamy cheesecake is perfect for holiday desserts. The colorful topping is so good that I prepare it separately and use it as a cranberry side dish at Thanksgiving. —Mary Simonson, Kelso, Washington

Makes

16 servings


Ingredients

  • 9 whole cinnamon graham crackers, crushed

  • 3 large egg whites, lightly beaten
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons grated orange zest
  • 1/4 teaspoon minced fresh gingerroot
