Filling Ingredients
  • 8 ounces cream cheese (room temperature) Make sure it's soft for easy mixing
  • ⅓ cup powdered sugar For sweetness
  • 1 ½ teaspoons orange zest Adds a citrus flavor
  • 1 14 ounce can whole-berry cranberry sauce Can be homemade if preferred
  • 1 8 ounce tub whipped topping (thawed) For fluffiness
Crust
  • 1 9 inch graham cracker crust Store-bought or homemade

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese with powdered sugar and orange zest until smooth.
  2. Add the whole-berry cranberry sauce and mix until combined.
  3. Gently fold in the whipped topping until fluffy.
  4. Spread the mixture into the graham cracker crust.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
Serving

Notes

For added richness, consider adding vanilla extract to the mixture. For a tangier pie, a teaspoon of lemon juice can enhance the flavor. To add crunch, sprinkle crushed nuts on top or mix them into the crust.
