Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for crust)
- 3 cups fresh or frozen cranberries
- 1 cup granulated sugar (for cranberry filling)
- 0.5 cup water
- 1.5 cups heavy cream
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 0.75 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 2 tablespoons of sugar until evenly combined.
Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove and let cool completely.
In a medium saucepan, combine the cranberries, 1 cup of sugar, and water. Cook over medium heat for 10-12 minutes, or until the cranberries burst and the mixture thickens. Stir occasionally.
Remove the cranberry mixture from heat and let it cool completely. Once cooled, blend the mixture until smooth using a blender or food processor.
In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture gently until combined.
Spread half of the cream mixture evenly over the graham cracker crust.
Top with the cranberry mixture, spreading it evenly.
Spread the remaining cream mixture on top of the cranberry layer, smoothing it out with a spatula.
Chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or until set.
Optional: Garnish with sugared cranberries or whipped cream before serving.
Slice, serve, and enjoy!
