Ingredients
1 Β½ cups cinnamon graham crackers (finely crushed)
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
ΒΎ to 1 teaspoon coarse kosher salt (use half if using table salt)
Β½ cup unsalted butter (melted)
1 pound block cream cheese (softened at room temperature for 1 hour)
Β½ cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract
1 cup cold heavy whipping cream
Homemade cranberry raspberry sauce (prepared and cooled separately)
Instructions
1-Preparation of the cranberry raspberry sauce: First, start by preparing the cranberry raspberry sauce and letting it cool completely; you can make it ahead and store it in the fridge for up to a week.
2-Preheat oven and prepare crust: Next, preheat your oven to 325Β°F and work on the crust. Combine the finely crushed cinnamon graham crackers, light brown sugar, and coarse kosher salt in a bowl, then mix in the melted unsalted butter until itβs moist and holds together. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom and sides of a tart pan, bake for 8-10 minutes until itβs toasted and fragrant, and let it cool completely. This step ensures a buttery base that complements the creamy filling perfectly.
3-Prepare the filling: Now, for the filling, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth it only takes about a minute. Add the cold heavy whipping cream and beat on medium-high speed until itβs fluffy and thick enough to hold its shape. Spread this into your cooled crust, then chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
4-Serve: Finally, serve by removing the sides of the tart pan and topping individual slices with the homemade cranberry sauce.
