If you plan on hosting family overnight, you’ll need to offer your in-laws some breakfast, too. If you’re looking for a way to add some festive color, mix in some softened cranberries into your cream cheese. All you have to do is put fresh cranberries in the microwave for a few minutes. Then, once the cranberries have cooled, blend the cranberries in with the cream cheese using a hand mixer or just a fork.
If you’re a baking wizard, you might already know just how to make the perfect cheesecake. If that’s the case, try using cranberries in place of the cherries or blueberries that you might normally incorporate into your cheesecake. Otherwise, if the fine art of making the perfect cheesecake escapes you, you can also buy from your favorite bakery and add the cranberries to the top yourself.
