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

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

For the filling, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together in a mixing bowl until smooth and creamy.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream and vanilla extract together using a hand mixer or stand mixer until stiff peaks form.

Step 5

Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until light and fluffy. Set this aside.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Retrieve the chilled crust from the freezer. Spread half of the cranberry compote over the bottom of the crust in an even layer.

Step 9

Spoon the cream cheese filling over the cranberry layer, smoothing it out with a spatula.

Step 10

Top the pie with the remaining cranberry compote, spreading it gently over the surface.

Step 11

Place the pie in the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to set properly.

Step 12

Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy your Fluffy Cranberry Cheese Pie!
