Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).

5. Fold in the dried cranberries and chocolate chips.
6. Pour the batter over the crust in the springform pan.
7. Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly browned.
8. Remove from the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
9. Run a knife around the edge of the pan to loosen the cheesecake, then remove the sides of the pan.
10. Let the cheesecake cool completely on a wire rack.
11. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until it just begins to simmer.
12. Remove from heat and pour over the cooled cheesecake.
13. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the topping is set.
14. Serve chilled and enjoy!
