Ingredients

Scale

2 ½ cups cranberries (fresh or frozen, 250 grams)
½ cup granulated sugar (100 grams)
¾ cup orange juice or water
36 Golden Oreo cookies (406 grams)
5 tbsp unsalted butter, melted (70 grams)
1½ cups white chocolate, chopped (250 grams)
680 grams cream cheese, softened (3 packages of 8 oz.)
¾ cup granulated sugar (150 grams)
⅓ cup sour cream (80 grams)
3 large eggs, room temp
1 tbsp vanilla extract
½ tsp salt
¾ cup white chocolate, chopped (120 grams)
¼ cup heavy cream (60 ml)

Instructions

Preparing the Cranberry Sauce Combine cranberries, sugar, and orange juice in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally and cook until the mixture thickens (around 10 minutes). Transfer to a bowl, optionally strain, and let cool.
Making the Golden Oreo Crust Preheat the oven to 325ºF (163°C). Crush Golden Oreos into a fine powder using a food processor, mix in melted butter, press firmly into a springform pan, and bake for 12 minutes. Allow to cool.
Creating the Cheesecake Batter Melt white chocolate (microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth), and set aside. In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until creamy. Mix in sour cream, cooled white chocolate, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
Assembling the Cheesecake Layer one-third of the cheesecake batter over the crust, add spoonfuls of cranberry sauce, and swirl. Repeat layering, finishing with remaining batter and sauce. Wrap the pan’s bottom in foil, place in a roasting pan, add hot water, and bake for 60-75 minutes at 325ºF (163°C).
