Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar (for crust)
• 12 ounces Fresh cranberries
• 1 cup Granulated sugar (for filling)
• 0.5 cup Water
• 1.5 cups Heavy whipping cream, chilled
• 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
• 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar until the mixture resembles wet sand.

Step 2

Press the graham cracker mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Use the back of a measuring cup for an even layer. Place the crust in the freezer to set while preparing the filling.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan, combine the cranberries, 1 cup of granulated sugar, and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries burst and the mixture thickens slightly, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Remove the cranberry mixture from the heat and let it cool for 10-15 minutes. Once cooled, puree the mixture in a blender or food processor until smooth. Set aside to cool completely.

Step 5

In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together using a hand mixer or stand mixer until smooth and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 6

In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form, about 4-5 minutes.

Step 7

Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined and creamy.

Step 8

Fold the cooled cranberry puree into the cream cheese and whipped cream mixture, creating a vibrant pink filling.

Step 9

Spread the cranberry filling evenly into the prepared pie crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 10

Cover the pie tightly with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight, until firm.

Step 11

Before serving, let the pie sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes to soften slightly for easier slicing.

Step 12

Garnish with fresh cranberries, whipped cream, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar if desired. Slice and serve.
