Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar (for crust)
- 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 12 ounces Fresh cranberries
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar (for cranberry compote)
- 0.25 cup Orange juice
- 0.25 cup Water
- 1 teaspoon Orange zest
Instructions
Start by preparing the crust. In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs with melted butter and 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar. Stir until evenly combined.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust. Place in the freezer to set while preparing the filling.
For the filling, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together in a mixing bowl until smooth and creamy.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream and vanilla extract together using a hand mixer or stand mixer until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until light and fluffy. Set this aside.
To make the cranberry compote, combine fresh cranberries, 0.75 cups granulated sugar, orange juice, water, and orange zest in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Cook the cranberry mixture for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries pop and the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely.
Retrieve the chilled crust from the freezer. Spread half of the cranberry compote over the bottom of the crust in an even layer.
Spoon the cream cheese filling over the cranberry layer, smoothing it out with a spatula.
Top the pie with the remaining cranberry compote, spreading it gently over the surface.
Place the pie in the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to set properly.
Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy your Fluffy Cranberry Cheese Pie!
