Cranberry No-Bake Cheesecake – The Rose Desk

This beautiful Cranberry No-Bake Cheesecake is the proper vacation dessert! It’s so festive and delightful, it makes use of leftover cranberry sauce, and it doesn’t even require baking. What’s to not love?

If there’s one factor the web loves, it’s my cranberry sauce. Now with over 10M views, this viral sauce is beloved for a cause: it’s excellent! I exploit it in tons of recipes as a result of it makes rather a lot and also you solely want a bit bit for turkey sandwiches.

I’ve no clue why I’ve by no means thought to make use of leftover cranberry sauce on cheesecake. The tartness of the sauce completely enhances the sweetness of this no-bake cheesecake. This may be my new favourite cranberry recipe!

You possibly can completely make this dessert the day earlier than serving, even piping the whipping cream, however wait and spoon the cranberry sauce over the cheesecake simply earlier than serving for the prettiest dessert.
