Notes & Options:

Optional: Top with our famous cranberry dessert topping which can be found here.

– The most common citrus flavor for this cheesecake is usually lemon but orange is a close second and just as good. If you’re feeling adventurous you can even try lime which works well with the cranberry topping.
– Add cinnamon to the crust if you want it to have a holiday feel.
Fresh cranberries work best followed by frozen. Do not use dry cranberries in this recipe as they will act more like raisins than fruit.

Make it Healthy – Replacing the sugar with granulated sweetener and using your own, homemade keto-friendly condensed milk will turn this recipe into a healthy, sugar-free keto food instead of a dessert. Meaning it’s a great weight loss food.
