Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease a 9-inch springform pan.
  2. Combine crushed chocolate sandwich cookies with melted salted butter and press into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 10 minutes and let cool.
  3. Wrap the outside of the springform pan with heavy-duty foil and place it into a larger baking dish for a water bath.
  4. Beat softened cream cheese until smooth, then add granulated sugar, salt, and vanilla. Mix in eggs one at a time, followed by sour cream and heavy whipping cream.
  5. Fold in fresh cranberries and white chocolate chips gently.
  6. Pour the filling over the cooled crust and bake in the water bath for about 90 minutes at 160°C (320°F).
  7. Turn off the oven after baking and keep the cheesecake inside for 1 hour to cool gradually.
  8. Remove from oven and refrigerate uncovered for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  9. Melt additional white chocolate with cream, then drizzle over cooled cheesecake and optionally garnish with sugared cranberries.
